Re: Recovering data from a compact flash card?
Formatting normally only wipes the file allocation table and leaves the file data in the sectors alone.
Since you aborted the format, now the card is in a state the the OS (and data recovery programs) may not be able to recognize.
Try formatting it again to allow the OS to see the card, then google for data recovery tools. I've used GetDataBack successfully in the past for harddisks, and if the compact flash is installed into a compact flash to IDE adapter, GetDataBack should see the compact flash as a disk drive and should work. There are also dedicated flash media recovery tools (I haven't needed one in years so don't remember what I used, so google).
