Just deletd some important files.
any1 reccomend a decent file recovery prgram?

the ones im googling dont find anything!

yer i got a program unsure what it is called but i will send to you when i am home from tafe if ya like

thanks mate

but i really need this sorted asap.
but pls send it anyway

yer u got a messenger addy?

unfortunately if you didn't have recovery software loaded before you deleted it chances are you're stuffed, the recovered files will most likely be giberish unless they are ascii or raw text files

yer u can u can get recovery boot cd's that chek the disk sectors for the deleted files and they will recover them. i am pretty sure ey

damn im very screwed if i cant get them files back!

bloody techomonolgy computers... they suck, they fail all the time, yet we entrust them with the most important data and hope to christ they work lol... i'm just being a sinic cause i leave the IT industry in three days

Hope you manage to get the files back Tode... fingers crossed they're recoverable

i would stop using the comp right now.. the info is most likely still there on the disk provided that an application has not overwritten that particular section of the disk.

Indeed, when something is deleted the sectors on the harddisk are simply MARKED as empty and free to be written to, rather than the entire content being deleted (most of the time the first few letters of the filename are gone under an NTFS,FAT32 partition)

This obviously provides us with the ability to recover files we have "deleted" ASSUMING that no application then proceeds to write to that "empty" sector on the harddisk.

I would assume (not knowing the particulars of how each file system works) that after deleting something incorrectly, but having no "undeleter" the best bet would be to delete MORE files that u really dont want as to prevent your particuilar sector with the files you require from being written onto. Not quite sure if this would work.

Even browsing the net etc using your computer generates temporary files that may be written onto your "empty" sector, be warned! (and that includes downloading these 'undeleters'
