ZAR - Zero Assumption Recovery

My Nikon D70 DSLR behaved a little weird today displaying 'FOR' on the display screen and corrupted 100+ image files that I had on the Compact Flash card. I do get the 'FOR' message before and all I need to do was turn off the camera, take out the CF card and re-insert it and everything would go back to normal. But not this time.

After searching the web, I did not find the solution to this problem but I did find a software that would recover the corrupted files. Tried many of them and only "Zero Assumption Recovery (ZAR)" would recover almost ALL the files that was corrupted.

You can download the software and use the digital camera image recovery function for free from http://www.z-a-recovery.com/

To use other functionalities of the software, you would have to buy the license.

Free Money? Get Paid to Surf The Web?

Stay away from them. When I say 'them', I meant ALL of those people trying to convince you to pay a fee to join to make money by surfing the web. I can say this because I know someone who is a victim of this scam....

Check out the following sites:

Also note that that this is not limiting to making money by surfing the web scam. There are countless other scams that required you to pay a fee to join or buy the 'secret' of making ton of money. Stay away from those as well.
Just remember, if you have to give out your personal information or pay to join, do NOT do it.
