Hello, I have great hopes for ZAR in recovering my lost Christmas pictures of my kids! I accidentally deleted my entire 4GB card! (Christmas plus lots of other stuff that I actually did save to my computer!) Here is my question...The scan is complete and it says there are 1722 images found. It is now doing something, as the "current operation and its progress" bar is very slowly filling up. But it has been an hour and only 4 bars are visible now. Is this considered too slow? Or should I give it more time? Not sure what is reasonable and if it is still working, or hung up? Elapsed time is still ticking away too. How long will it take to recover 1722 images? Taken with the Canon 40D camera, file/image sizes are all 2-4MB. Thank you!

If still no significant progress,


Abort the run
Start ZAR again
On the first screen click "Advanced Configuration"
In there, under "Image recovery" set "End of file detection" to marker analysis.
Click OK to close configuration.
Retry the scan.
