A memory card will (almost always) be formated using VFAT; normal delete just removes the first character of the entry in the file allocation table. If you subsequently write to the card, you can overwrite the deleted files, but if it is just a delete, the type of file deleted doesn't matter; all you have to be able to do is put that first character of the file entry in the FAT back. If you format the card, it replaces the FAT _completely_ and the individual sectors of the file are no longer recorded. It's possible to recover from that, too, but this is no longer an undelete and starts being more of a data recovery exercise. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
