Accidentally, I erased my camera's memory card. I really did not worry much at the moment, knowing that there are very capable recovery tools out there and having successfully used some of those on various occasions. Using my 1st line recovery tool, I "recovered" much of what had been erased. However, when I tried to open the recovered files, none of them opened. They were all useless weight. Panicking, I went to other recovery tools. One by one they failed to recover my files.
After trying 6 different tools and feeling defeated, I went to Snapfiles and searched for other recovery tools. With a "what the heck, I've nothing to lose" attitude, I downloaded Puran File Recovery. To my delight and satisfaction, this free tool did the trick. It recovered all my files. Better yet, they all open correctly in a functional, working manner. Great work, Puran.

Tested this out on a formatted drive, 490 gig partition. Did a deep scan, took a long time, very normal and not real long considering it brought back 260,000 files and folders.
No way I was going to recover them all so I did recover a large batch of them and they all work. I was very impressed by it. I don't judge by micro devices or such due to the fact numerous softwares will recover these easily and are a dime a dozen (not that it's not a great perk of course) but when you take a formatted drive that's been written to many times, then I'm impressed.
Great job Puran.
