Which probably means he ran some demo version of a recovery program,
which then asked him some money for the one that works ;-)

Try this program - free.

Or this one

http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Works very well on most storage media. Ignore where it says "Buy online and
download". Just go to the bottom of that pane and select "download from "
(filehippo or Piriform). All Piriform utility software - CCleaner, Recuva,
Speccy and Defraggler - is extremely good, and free to download.
