        The data is still there, but now it's time to move to using
        another tool, called "photorec", point it at the recovered
        image and tell it to search through the whole lot.

        You won't get the filenames back, but it will bring back any
        photos and other files it can find ( you can adjust the
        settings to choose what sort of files you want to try recover ).

Paul.
