Recover a deleted file

W98SE

Is there a utility that will recover a file that has been deleted from
the Recycle Bin? Hopefully as an executable file.

A file was posted a few days ago, Restore... IIRC- DO NOT USE. It did
recover my file name, but 0 length so no data, but it also took a
similar file name on my hd and changed it to a 0 length file.

PC INSPECTORT File Recovery is a data recovery program that supports the FAT
12/16/32 and NTFS file systems.

The current version 3.x replaces the previous version 2.x, which is now over
6 years old.

Here are some of the new features in PC INSPECTORT File Recovery 3.x


Finds partitions automatically, even if the boot sector or FAT has been
erased or damaged (does not work with the NTFS file system)


Recovers files with the original time and date stamp


Supports the saving of recovered files on network drives


Recovers files, even when a header entry is no longer available. Competition
products cannot recover such files. The "Special Recovery Function" supports
the following disk formats:

ARJ AVI BMP CDR DOC DXF DBF XLS
EXE GIF HLP HTML HTM JPG LZH MID
MOV MP3 PDF PNG RTF TAR TIF WAV
ZIP

PC INSPECTORT File Recovery 3.x is so-called FREEWARE. This means that the
software does not cost you a single penny.

That sounds like a nice little utility.

The problem is that the utility must be in place and used before
anything overwrites the deleted file, or a portion of it. Downloading
and installing will decrease the chances of success greatly.

Be prepared.

Requires no installation and can be run from a floppy if so desired .

Try getting a copy of LHA.EXE (it extracts LZH files), and put it on a
floppy, download this utility to the floppy. Open a dos box and change
directory to A:\, then use LHA to extract the archive to the same
drive and return to windows - and then run the utility.

If power archiver or some other multi purpose unzipper is installed
just use that, just make sure to extract it to the A:\ drive. Other
possibilitys might be to extract it on another machine, or just get a
friend to send it via an instant messenger or FTP/webspace and again
make sure to save it not on the hard drive.

Be prepared.

The download can be saved and self extracted to a single floppy disk, I
would do this from another machine given the option though. I have not
actually tried to recove anything with this utility, but it looks like a
real winner from the outside.
