[Discuss] recover files and foldes from USB pendrive?

[Murray Strome]

Thanks again, Ken. It took a long time (probably about 8 hours), but it recovered a lot of files. As I had recalled, the names are all wrong, and except for image files, it called a lot of them text files.  They are there, but with over 3000 files, all misnamed, it will be quite difficult to actually find any particular one.  I will probably keep them around for a while and try something else after I get home.
