Well my neighbor’s son installed linux and destroyed her windows machine :)

She had tonnes of pics on it…

So asked me for help

I found recoverjpeg and it recovered all her pics

Son gets credit for installing Gutsy Gibbon.  So installation of “recoverjpeg” was a breeze using Synaptic package manager

Usage was on command line like so…

sudo recoverjpeg /dev/sda1

Preferably do that in say /recoveredPics dir (your choice for name of dir)
