Hi Sunny,
Just out of curiosity, how many photos are you talking about? I mean, a "ton"
of megabytes is an awful lot of electrons! ;-)
512MB - like 250 pictures :(
The problem was with digiCam actually. Because of not enough free
space it silently stopped the copy process. No warning, nothing. I was
under the impression that it have downloaded all pictures from the
card, and I ran Delete All :(
From my archives:
http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html (be sure to check the link at the
very bottom of the page!)
Looks complicated ... but maybe I'll try this as last resort
Another idea... I wonder if DOS 6.22 'undelete.exe' will run under dosbox
(included with SUSE)? I found a page where you can download it... :-)

I'll try this first
You can make an image of the flash card with dd as a backup, right? Then try
running 'undelete.exe' under dosbox. I have no idea if this will work or not,
but it'd probably be fun trying.
Yes, I already did dd, this is usually the first thing I always do
when something goes south :)
regards,
Carl
Maybe I'll try to build a list of the files - they all are
dscxxxxx.jpg, and usually only the first letter is lost. So if I put
all names in a file, I can try using fsck.vfat -u for every file from
a script (not that I understand how :) but I'm sure that I can find
out how to run a command over every line of a file).
Thanks for the suggestions though.
