...typo, s.b. PC Inspector Smart Recovery.

works great on most flash memory products for video, photos, sound files.   Have used a couple of times after unintentionally deleting photos.  Also successfully recovered files twice from SD cards that had been damaged somehow and were unreadable with normal tools.

LOL @ Gary

At the place I work ( A school ) we had a teacher come to us and she was having a hard time getting any machine recognize it, when I plugged it in it was flashing ( literally every second it was appearing and dis appearing ). Rebooted windows because it popped up saying it had to reboot in order to install some drivers for the device, so I rebooted and it managed to keep the memory stick in my computer but it refused to copy one file ( which was lucky ), she obviously couldn't get windows to install the drivers since she is a restricted user on the network which uses Active Directory, Group policies etc.
