Also... maybe the files were moved rather than copied so I would also search the pc drive using date and file extension options as from your description at least some of the files must have been copied or moved over. |

Thanks for your help, I have recovered the files but am unable to open them. Properties see them as jpeg but even PS won't open them. Can anyone offer any more support, please? I used dmde by the way. File names are variants of f271507 |

In the absence of FS metadata, a raw search assumes that files are contiguous. Therefore those files which are actually fragmented will not be recovered intact. You may see the first fragment, but the rest of the file will be junk. Can you upload an example, privacy concerns notwithstanding? |

That file has no JPEG header. I don't understand how a raw scan (using JPEG signatures) could have been identified it as a JPEG. :o Can you show us DMDE's Partitions window? |

I really have no idea what I'm doing here, I'm just blindly muddling through it and trying my best to understand the terminology in the prompts from the software. I'll try again now and SS the progress. Apologies for my ineptitude |

Hope its not too late now but you must create a full image of the device. Using Dmde........when opening the programme it will scan for available devices and partitions. Select the device, rather than the partition, and create a clone copy of it, saving it as a file on your computer hard drive. After you can put the Vtech device away and do all your work on the image. |
