Help - did a very bad thing. In an effort to free up some
hard drive space, I deleted some media files, including
all my Windows 2000 default sounds. I'm trying to get
them back but cannot re-install because I'm at Service Pak
3 - and can do an upgraded install anyone out there can
help me ....Help and thank you - Bill Wood
 
Just do an inplace upgrade and reapply your service packs
it will not erase your settings.
 
Hi Bill -

There are several third-party file recovery programs available. Do a
Google search for "undelete" and you'll see a number of choices.

That said, there's a possibility that some (or all) of the files you
want to recover have been overwritten by other activity on the disk
since you deleted them. It's still worth trying, though -- you'll be
surprised how much stuff is still available from your hard drive.

I hope this helps -
