Hi,
a friend of my has asked me if there is anything i can do with the above situation, i said i could try and read the card on another computer but that the chances of recovering anything was slim.
are there any obvious tips / things i should try ?
thanks
Dr Zero:

Yeah, I had good results with that one. A friend who was on holiday in Egypt had accidentally formatted his SD card.
It rescued about 85% of the pics !

cheers guys :) bookmarked for future reference! but it appears he had to actually turn the camera off and THEN on to accept the card ::) i assume that means he tried to put the card in with the camera still on or something stupid.. anyway it never got wiped.
but thanks again for the efforts :-) and i set up his new pc and got a very nice graphics card and 2gig or ram out of it :-)

WOW! I ran this program on a 512 mb XD camera card with NO pictures that showed up in Explorer. Everything had been deleted as normal, but after running this program it found 142 pictures! Crazy stuff...
EDIT: I reformatted the card using Iolo Drive Scrubber which will "scrub" a drive up to 7 times to destroy any file remnants. I ran it on a 3 scrub cycle and it removed absolutely everything. Guess that works!
