Data Recovery Problems after Accidental Deletion

[jason.ongankul]

On an NTFS partition, I deleted some files accidentally (Shift +
Delete, skipping the Recycle Bin), and cancelled midway of complete
deletion. Luckily it was on a partition where the system did not use
for any kind of virtual memory, cache and such. I downloaded 4
programs, to do recovery; They were FreeUndelete 2.0, eDATA Unerase,
Disk Investigator, Active@ UNDELETE.

So far they all failed to recover the files without any corruption.

From the most compressed zip files to the smallest text file.

It seems I am completely out of luck. My question is, would there be a
software that would do wonders and actually recover some files?

I haven't written anything to that partition ever since, only read.

Thanks,
Jason

Yes it is......?

I know you have said you have not written to it, but some stuff will get
written when a system shuts down, or even when files are deleted. If the
disk is very full, there is a much higher probability of any writes then
overwriting the data.

I don't use Windoze much and so I don't know any of them tools. But in
general you will have more problems recovering data from an almost full
disk.

How important were the files? What kind of Hard Drive are you using?
There are expensive ways to get fail safe data recovery like
DriveSavers Data Recovery.
