Not for me this time. Here is the sad story:
David Warren <dukedgw AT aol.com> took his Minolta camera to the Amazon
(River not On-line Bookseller) in Peru. There he took about 180
pictures.
But when he got home, he was checking out the camera and (he says) hit
the
"format" button. Oops! His disk was just reformatted!
Minolta uses a "sandisk" (in his case a 128mb version).

If it's a quick format (very likely), that means that only the data index was gone. You can mount the CF disk in a USB disk reader and it will show up on the windows desktop. At that point it's just like any other pice of media with a file system on it and the standard windows (Norton) undelete recovery programs should be able to help.
