I think you will need to stick your wiped SD card into a card reader, rather than recover the files on your HD. Maybe not.

The download link is a little down the page, beneath 'Operating Systems'. Best of luck -Years ago, I used a much earlier version to recover some pix from a drive that had been formatted a couple of times and it worked!

On edit: Gotta add this - if/when you get your photos back, format the card but NOT in your computer. Do it in the camera.

Again on edit: You might find something on this page. http://www.photo-freeware.net/categories/tools/
