Freeware Data Recovery

Off-Topic
1

Ey,

could google myself and browse through hundreds of apps/recommendations, but though I’d better ask here from the well informed Renoise IT-crowd! :)

A while ago I had to re-install windows after computer troubles, losing a lot of samples and a few wip Renoise tracks that I didn’t properly back-up facepalm. Now the lost songs I’ll never be able to recover again from the laptop because of HD formatting, but the few gigs of fieldrecording samples were cut out of a SD card that I haven’t touched since.

Would it be possible, using some freeware data-recovery program, to recover data from the SD card?

What is the best free app for this job?

Thnx in advance!

Recuva

Recuva is indeed great. Testdisk is very bare-bones (command line), but i was able to recover files from a broken harddrive with this software, so, understandably, i really liked it :).
