Recovering images. opening .VB files

Name: Anonymous 2007-12-23 5:34

My sister accidentally deleted some pictures on our digital camera that she really wanted so i took the memory card from the camera and used O&O DiskRecovery on it to get the photos back.

unfortunately for some reason it spit out a bunch of 6kb jpeg files that don't show anything, and a bunch of .VB files with varying sizes from 2000kb to 3000kb. I'm thinking that the .VB files are the deleted pictures but i can't figure out how to extract an image from them.

anyone have any ideas how to get these picture back? when she deleted them i made sure she didn't use the camera again so i think theoretically the data is still there but not accessible. why it all came back as .VB files is beyond me.

The camera is a sony DSC-S700 using a memory stick pro duo card, if that helps at all.

Rename the files to .jpg and try opening them. If that doesn't work, try some tool that can fix corrupt images. Google is your friend.

If that doesn't help, try other file recovery tools.

I KNOW THIS, WHICH IS WHY I'M CONFUSED AT WHY IT SPIT THAT TYPE OF FILE OUT AND HOW I MIGHT GO ABOUT TURNING IT BACK INTO AN IMAGE.

Upload all the files (jpg & vb) somewhere, and I'll see what I can do.
