Unless you want to pay rediculous amounts to a Data retreival Co. your
photo's are no more,
even then not everyone (CIA and Scotland Yard excepted) would find much if
they have been written over by XP.
If they are not still in the camera forget it.
Retreival software does exist, but it generally needs installed before you
blat the files.
Sorry to rain on your parade, anyone tells you the files are "save"able,
they're talking out a hole in their hat.
