I would imagine the chance to recover diminishes fairly quickly as previously used disc space gets overwritten, or does it? Maybe installing the recover prog itself will overwrite it.

You're right.

Best practice would be to remove the drive ASAP and do the recovery on another system with the drive connected via USB or similar.

For future reference for anyone else, I use and recommend this most excellent program: Unformat and File Recovery Software for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista

Excellent idea, but even I o not rely on the great one to save me.


Instead I backup everything. Or should I say time machine backs up everything to another machine.

Why don't you just post what you did? That way everybody gets to benefit.

I can’t advertise products on the forum.

Think about it...

I think you will need an Undelete tool to recover your files.

Thanks for your invaluable assistance. I copied and pasted your post into Google and got what I wanted (a nice hex-editor and recovery tool (Free!!!)) .

Anyone who needs the same, please PM me.

Help please..

Using my f’ing Vista Laptop I managed by a slip of a finger to delete a folder of data. It did not go to the Recycle bin.

Any suggestions on utilities to restore the files that do work will be appreciated.

R STUDIO, download it from the states for around 60 dollars (its worth it if your to lazy to backup data)

I have recovered many a failed drive with this and unless your drive has mechanical failure it will recover everything

System restore? Just back up docs created/modified after the restore point .
