Way to recover accidentally erased data from CF card?

K my sis accidentally erased a compact flash card that was in a canon camera which had a whole day's work on it. I am not sure how it got erased but it was either in the camera or in a windows software when a pop up came up asking her to erase it. I guess she didn't notice and clicked ok or something. ANYWAY, is there anything I can do to retrieve all the images? She hasn't used the card yet so I'm sure something like R-STUDIO exists for CF media. Thanks.
 
Ah. one thing funky about this thing is that the Canon camera isn't listed as a drive letter, it's just the name of the camera and it doesn't get listed in the recovery software as a drive. Any way to force the camera into a drive mode?

Yeah..get a card reader. 😛
 
Ok I think I have one from an busted computer but it plugs in directly to the pins on a motherboard..which is dead. I wonder if the Abit NF7-S Rev 2 board has CF pins?
 
I've done this for someone before. You need a CF reader. It's cheap and you'll probably need one in the future anyways.

If I understand what you meant, and what wbresson meant, I don't think he was joking.

If the work is that important, don't fsck around - go get a cheap CF reader.

Unless you know the pinouts of the CF reader (which is probably USB) you risk buning up the USB port pins on the mobo.
