Smart Media Card Erased Data Need Back

I know this isn't exactly AQUA or anything to do with this site, but you are some of my closest and most helpful friends, so I was wondering if you could help me now?

See one of my sister's friends accidentily deleted data from a Smart Media card (64MBs) on a FujiFilm MX-1200 Digital Camera.

I tried looking on the official FujiFilm Site but it had an error and so it couldn't find the FAQ file that was needed.

So my friends I am asking you if you know of a way to recover data from FAT on a Smart Media Card.

Thank you very much.

p.s. I can't stand seeing my sis cry

Since the Smart Media Cards and Memorysticks not is built up by electromagnetic layers, like Harddrives and Backup Tapes, the data is not actually physically written on any layer - it's "burned" into the ROM. When this data is flushed - which accidently happened here, the memory just goes back to zero again.

I have no idea how to bring this back, and as far as I know - this is impossible to restore.

I'll have another look on the internet, but unfortunatly - I don't believe this exists.

I did a quick search and this is what i found:

You could also try this shareware program. It has a free trial version.

Hope this helps.
