In transferring around 12 jpg files from a 1Gb compact flash disk to my hard drive via the PC's card reader, I inadvertantly cut instead of copied these files. The paste to the hard drive appeared as a 12Mb scrap file which I am unfamiliar with. Assuming the files were still on the clipboard I pasted back to their location on the Compact Flash, -same result -another @#$! scrap file.
So far I have been unable to find meaningful discussion on recovery or restore or conversion of this scrap file back to the original jpg format.
As a last resort I used DataDoctor recovery tool to recover the deleted/cut files from the flash disk however I could only get a partial recover as I suspect that in pasting the files back to their original location on the flash disk may have overwritten the original jpg files.
I assume the original jpg data is still embedded in the scrap file and any info on how to extract/convert/restore these jpg files would be greatly appreciated...
