There are a couple utilities that will scan over a medium and can recover common image/document formats, although if any of the files are fragmented it might not be able to recover them properly.
FreeBSD has the sysutils/testdisk port available, photorec which is also included.. may be helpful. I'm not sure of the details of the FAT file system, but you probably should have left it as-is.. make an image of it, don't mount it read/write.. it's possible that you lost all of those images. You cannot recover overwritten files, just "misplaced" ones. |

testdisk complains about geometry. I have tried (as suggested) 16,32,64,128,240,255 heads per cylinder, and none of these results in anything useful; it still complains about "bad ending head".
With the following values (256 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors per track, 512 sector size), what I see is this: http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/3646/headsf.png http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/3830/heads2.png http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/1032/dirx.png http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4308/dir2.png Are there any other values of heads I should try, and if not, what else remains to do? I have created the image.dd file so far. |

You should use photorec, which as I said.. is included with testdisk.
