“Yesterday, while transferring photos from USB Stick to system there was a sudden power shutdown. Later when I open USB Stick to copy the same pictures, I was shocked as photos were not there in USB stick. Then, I checked in system, whether photos were copied to system or not, unfortunately it didn’t copy to system also. Is there any chance to get back those deleted pictures from USB Stick?”
