Please please please someone help me retrieve photos I have "lost"

PLEASE can someone help me

I don't know what I have done, I was trying to put my photos from, this weekend from My Pictures folder in my documents onto a cd and I couldn't get them to copy so I STUPIDLY selected "MOVE" and selected to move them to D:\ drive (my CD) the cd whirred it moved files everything great and then I tried to view them on cd and it says cannot read file disc may be corrupt???

WTF? now I cant get my photos. I still have a Windows explorer window opem that has all the files there (ie the names etc and when I hover over them it tells me the size eg 1.3 MB but when I try to do anything with those files it says cannot read from the source file or disc??

My camera is still attached but the pics are no longer on it

PLEASE PLEASE tell me I can get them somehow???

ETA: Some are on photobucket but not them all, but can I resize them and restore them as copies into my pics again?? Also I tried to put them on windows moviemaker but when I go there the icons are there with big red crosses where the pics should be

Did you move the files off the memory card? If so yu may be able to get some software to recover them off the memory card. Sandisk memory cards usually come with recovery software to recover even deleted files.

Hi,

thanks for your reply

Yes I moved them initially from my Fuji film SD card to the pc then deleted them from card, then i STUPIDLY moved them to CD which I now can't access for whatever equally stupid reason!!

Someone suggested card recovery and it found most of the photos but its a very expensive way of getting photos back as in order to save them I have to buy the software....might be justifiable if it was a wedding but doubt my OH will approve for some weekend photos of the dog swimming and enjoying the sun

Try doing a search for some of the file names, as they may still be on the HD somewhere - it's odd that you can move files from hd to cd, they nearly always 'copy' :-/

Hi Azz thanks for that, unfortunately I tried searching for the files and they couldn't be found I then searched for the folder and it found that in somewhere hidden but it was only 1KB in size and didnt have anything in it when I tried to open it.

I am SOOO annoyed with myself
