I need help on one more thing. Using JPEGSnoop is the closest that I have come to repairing the images. However, when I try to repair them, it displays "File length is zero, no decoding done." When I try to repair some of the good images that I recovered but which have gray areas, the gray areas do not disappear but only change color. Thanks for helping.

Where is the JPEG Snooper page? I doubt that it will help, as I can see that the files are JPEGs, but still they are not recognized. It is because they are overwritten. This article is very pessimistic about recovering overwritten data. Most sources that I can find about this issue conclude that it is not possible, but I can not find any information about whether it will be possible in future. Do you know any information about this? I have not recovered the data, but thanks for helping.

The original memory card is 512MB. It was so full that I could not take any more pictures. The USB is 2GB according to a text on it and 944MB according to its properties panel. The program takes 926MB. I used JPEG Recovery correctly, but it does not recognise the files as they are overwritten. I think that I am going to send the memory card and the USB to a data recovery company. It probably will not work, as I think that the files are overwritten in the USB, too, and overwritten files can not be gotten back. When do you think that technology that is capable of recovering overwritten data is available?

Thanks for the information in the mailbox. However, even that program could not recognize the JPG files. The USB was formatted when the program downloaded the booting files on it. The program was not what you mentioned. Recuva said that the unviewable files on the memory card were overwritten by newer pictures that I took. It is strange that the pictures were overwritten in descending order, yet the oldest, the viewable ones, were not the first ones that I had ever taken with a camera with that memory card in it. It seems that I can not recover the overwritten files on the memory card. The last hope is that I can recover the images from the USB, which was completely formatted.

I use a Windows and I wanted to use Ubuntu so I followed the steps on its site: I downloaded a small file and used a program which somehow created a usable series of files and folders from the small file, which could be used to boot Ubuntu. It had to be done on a USB. I did it and all previous files on the USB were destroyed.

I have used the memory card a lot. It is FAT32, but I do not use Linux. It is only a part of the problem, that I downloaded its booting file on the USB, so the files were destroyed. In all other programs that I have managed to recover the files with, the preview cannot be shown. And when I recover them so that I make them into an actual file, no program that I have used can show it. Could you give an example of a program that could help me?

I copied images from a memory card to a USB and deleted them from the memory card because it was full and I wanted to use it. I downloaded a Linux booting file to the USB, which destroyed the images. I have managed to recover them but many of the images can not be displayed in any program. In some programs the message "unsupported file type" or something like that comes up even though they are JPEG files. Recuva, too, can not display them. The ones that cannot be displayed are the newest images. (I have also tried to recover from the USB but no images were found). What do I have to do to repair the images?
