Thanks, Sam. Yeah, it's an awful feeling. I lost (in the old sense of the word) a load of photos from a trip to South Africa in 2010 and since then have been carrying my cards around in a red sock! This latest techno-snaffu is bringing back those bad times. I couldn't get recuva to work on a Mac and have to go to work soon but I might try it later on my windows laptop.

Probably been said already but...

NEVER EVER EVER leave your photos sat on cards!! Copy them off at the end of every day you are travelling and then back them up. I carry 3 hard drives when I travel and copy every day to all of them and then spread them across the luggage so that one is likely to survive any loss.
