recover is a small utility that reads raw data from a disk image file or a disk device and extracts JPEG images.
I wrote it to extract images from a almost-broken memory card of a digital
camera; it usually works well with digital camera storage devices because
they are mostly not fragmented. Note that recover doesn't know anything
about file systems so zero-fragmentation is a requirement.
To install just unpack the source and type make.
You also need to be able to access the device of the disk you want to use
as the source media. For example if you want to use your Compact Flash reader
you'll probably want to load related USB drivers (uhci and
usb-storage modules) and SCSI disk driver.
Latest release is 0.2
You can download it here: recover-0.2.tar.gz
Supposing that your memory card is in your USB reader and that it's mapped to
/dev/sda:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=memory_card.img
