File Recovery software wanted (must be free)

I took a load of photos yesterday of the dogs, popped the car in my father in laws photo printer and printed 4 off.

Then at home I popped it in the card reader on the computer and It said corrupt. win 7 tried to fix it but didn't manage. Windows explorer shows nothing but properties shows 701 files.

I've tried 2 programs that found the files but wouldn't let me save as they were trials.

The free one I had didn't find anything.

Can anyone recomend me a program that works?

There's "recuva" and I think the other one I used was called file recovery doctor - both free.

I've used recuva in the past and seemed to do a good job!
