Hello. I'm looking for a piece of software that would allow me to
recover files that have been recently deleted from my hard drive in
Windows XP. When I say deleted, I mean from the recycle bin as well.

Kind Regards,

Matthew Boulton

google ntfsundelete.exe.
It works on NTFS of course. It worked good for me.

I recently used GetDataBack for NTFS from Runtime Software on a 500GB
drive. Windows gave me the option of deleting the partition and starting
again but the app got all the data off with no failures at all.

If the deleted files have been overwritten you may have problems getting
the full file(s) back but it's worth a go.

Its not even possible to do that reliably if the drive is formatted HPFS.

for files that have just been deleted 'pc inspector file recovery'
works fine but if the drive is going bad or you've lost the FAT table or
similar
then getdataback is needed and it about £60 I think
