Pat, I am so happy that you were able to get them back and now you have a reader/writer too. They are handy.

Yippee!

Ended up trying Photo Recovery Software to Recover Images and Pictures - Card Recovery and was able to get most pictures back.
I am so grateful for all your suggestions and encouragement.

A Big THANKS to all

That's good news Pat.

Ditto, you are correct all is not lost.
However, do not take any new pictures on that disk.
One added picture and all is lost.

That's true for any file recovery operation on any computer disk. As soon as you start writing to the disk, permanently deleted files start getting written over.

Were you able to recover all your pics on the disk.

Almost all....there were a few that I remember seeing and taking that I didn't get back but I suspect I took OTHER pictures over them.

Pat,
Glad to hear that you got most of your photos back. It's good that you hadn't taken very many new ones on that card!!!!
Digital photography is great, you can take as many photos as you want and not worry about developing and all that but it has it's pitfalls also, mostly creating a system of downloading and backing up that you are comfortable with.
congrats again on getting most of them back!!!
