OMG this was a lifesaver for my XMas photos and videos. Thank you so much. Worked like a charm. Only set back was some were lost permanently but I dont blame the program. Also, depending on the amount of files to recover it can take awhile because you have to restore each one individually, cannot hold Shift and click multiple ones. But no complaints really, because it WORKED! -
