JPG partial recovery

G'day

I have recovered several JPG files from a CompactFlash card used in a Canon A20 camera. However they are all only partially recovered. The lower third of each is missing when viewed in PaintShopPro or Irfanview, yet the thumbnail views are complete.

How to fix?

Further: I was using the latest version of RECUVA - 1.07.138. I uninstalled this and ran v1.01.069 on the same CF card. Recovered JPGs were complete.

A bug in 1.07.138?

Peter

Your right Peter I downloaded Recuva 1.07.138 a few weeks ago and I only gave it a try on a few files on the HD and they worked ok. Now you mentioned it won't recover jpg's of your CompactFlash card will I put a jpg on a flash drive and deleted it and Recuva 1.07.138 wouldn't recover it.

You said Recuva 1.01.069 Beta would so I downloaded that version to try and yes it does. So I thought I would download the next version up Recuva 1.02.086 Beta to see if the bug has been sorted. But that won't even run.

RECUVA caused an exception c0000409H in module RECUVA.EXE at 0247:0043bde4.

I also downloaded Recuva 1.02.091 Beta but that has the same error and won't run.

So I'll stick with 1.01.069 Beta until the newest version is sorted. ;)

Ok update.

I've downloaded and installed Recuva 1.05.118 and that will recover jpg's of my flash drive. ;)
