newbie ask for help

Mar 3, 2009 5:00PM PST

I'm a green hand on computer,my little son seems to have much interest than me.
I don't know what he had done to my laptop, my SD card was pluged into the computer, and when I try to open it ,the windows ask me to format it,
"disk not formatted. do you want to format now",
so I format the SD card, and all photos are gone .I used Easeus Data Recovery Wizard demo version , but I find my photos in SD card not former one, the photos can be previewed without names and paths, I'm so puzzled.So I ask help here before I buy the full version.
Is it ture that recovery function of the software?
here is for your reference

We would like the operating system that you are using so we do not give you the wrong information.

Sorry without this we can't help

My operation System

Sorry to reply so late because I'm busy in office.

My laptop is Sumsung R18+ XP, it about 2 years older, but works well.

When startted, it shows a one-key-restore information on the screen, I think my son must pressed "Enter" when starting.
It's there any way to get the files back?
what about Recuva? EASEUS Deleted File recovery? Both are free

If you formatted an SD card (and that really doesn't depend on the OS of the PC) in principle everything on it is lost (if you didn't copy it elsewhere) unless you use data recovery tools indeed.
All you can do is try a few to see which one you like best. http://www.google.com/search?q=photo+recovery will give quite a lot to try.
