Can't undelete from Recycle Bin on one HD

[liu]

I have a few HD connected to my PC. On the Recycle Bin setup, I don't
have "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately
when deleted" selected, so I should be able to take the files out of
Recycle bin until I empty it. Strangely, one drive does not abide by
that rule. Whenever I delete something, it's gone from the Recycle Bin.
I have to use an recovery program in order to get files back. I've
noticed that the drive is not listed as one of the tabs inside the
Recycle Bin Properties window. Also I've set it to "Use one setting for
all drives."

Any suggestions to make it easier to undelete files?

Thanks,

Recycle Bin does not work on removeable drives. I don't think USB fixed drives do.

I forgot to mentioned, I'm running Windows 2000 with SP4. I wonder if
any settings that I accidentlly turned on to make it work like that?!

No, it's connected on a Ultra133 IDE controller. I also noticed that
it's the same thing (can't undelete, does not show up on the tab) on
Windows XP (which I rarely use) of the same PC. There are 2 other
drives on the same controller but they can be undeleted when files are
deleted.

Hardware problem???

Yes, but did you check that it isn't set as removable.

Where do I check and set it as not removable? THANKS!

Hi,

You can really use data recovery tools to restore erased data. I
recommend Active@ undelete and Uneraser (for pure DOS). theese tools
never failed me before so IMHO they are very reliable.
