Good quick and free picture recovery software?

[darkswordsman17]

Are there any good free programs for recovering lost/deleted photos on a memory card? The card is good, and I've used PC Inspector I think it was called, but thought I'd see if there's something better.

If you have not saved new files on the card (overwriting the old ones), then any decent file recovery software should be able to restore them. I have used PC Inspector in the past and liked the results. I also like GetDataBack. Both have been able to recover files from drives that were formatted, and in one case where the entire MFT and boot sector of the drive were damaged.

Thanks, I will give those a try. My only issues with PC Inspector were that it wasn't totally straightforward, and would sometimes hang or take forever.
