I had the honor of being tasked by my wife with recovering photos from
the amorphous blob of data left over after some virus persuaded her
Windoze that it was a good idea to dump its memory all over the NTFS
root block. "recoverpics" finds pretty much every JFIF picture that is
in one piece, i.e. not in a fragmented file, no matter what the file
system. At 5k source it could be worth a try:
