How do i retrieve files that i have accidentally deleted?
I tried googling and it doesnt seem to help.
Any ideas? Cos the files are pretty important and i deleted it while backup-ing. Blar. Retarded of me.

err..for the time being, avoid using ur pc. because any disk writing activity may just overwrite watever files that u wan to recover. hunt for a copy of norton utilities. it should be a bootable cd that have data recovery software on it.

Hi,

Try this: I didn't use their file recovery product, but did use the digital media recovery when my CF card crashed. It wasn't even readable by the PC, but this tool successfully recovered most of the photos.

Best of all, it's freeware.

thanks for the link tanguan...
aiyah..where were you when I lost some files some time back? :-)
I remember in the old days, an unerase pogramme was actually an unerase programme and not some folder called "recycle bin". I wonder why nowaways even Norton Utilities does not have this utility anymore. could it be cause of long file name support causing havoc to the data bits?

back in the dos days, i think it's called undelete. when ms moved to windows 95, they decided to copy apple and made a recycle bin. norton still have their unerase. if u install it on ur pc, it's norton protected recycle bin. but if u run it off their bootable cd or recovery disk, they will launch the old unerase thingy.

depending if you use Norton Utilities or PC Tools, its either undelete or unerase . in the later version of MSDOS (I think from ver 4.0 onwards), they included unerase as part of the OS...
