I used it last night and again today. I’m getting a bunch of files back from the otherside.
I emailed PhotoRec author Christophe Grenier asking if it recovered . NEF (Nikon Raw) files. The documentation says that it does, but in the file types listed in the “choose what you want to look for” in the application’s interface, there is seemingly everything but .NEF.
no .NEF choice here
He emailed me within 10 minutes and said that format is a child of .TIF, so just select that. And voila, it started recovering my raw files.
The names of the recovered files are different, but I can live with that.
Now to give myself 100 lashes for letting this whole thing happen in the first place. Note to self: get data re-org projects done in one day, not 30. The longer that window is open, the more likely a fly will come in.
Nathan, thanks for the PhotoRec tip.

It’s good reading when one of my suggestions turn out to be helpful. If only my client’s were willing to so readily take my advice then I wouldn’t have as many issues.
