recover deleted files

[Travis]

Hello...

I made the mistake of copying a "short cut" to my
documents to a CD-R. After copying the folder I deleted
its contents. Later when I tried to copy the files to my
new compter, there was nothing there. I tried a system
restore and the folders did appear on my computer but
none of the data was there.

Is there a way to recover deleted files after I emptyed
the trash can?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I lost everything!

Best regards,

Travis

This freeware app will recover files from an emptied Recycle Bin

Avoid running your internet connection and e-mail as this activity will
likely download files and run the risk of overwriting your deleted data. You
should stop using your computer, do not do further deletions, do not defrag
or do any disk modifications. It might also be a good idea to turn off
System Restore so it is not creating System Restore Points. However doing
this will cause you to lose previously saved SR Points.

Download the Restoration program from the above link to another computer,
run the download and extract to a floppy. Run the app from the floppy to
avoid overwriting files on your Hard Drive. Restoration will allow you to
recover deleted files to the same partition they were deleted from, which is
unique to most undelete programs, however the risk in doing so is great
because recovering a file to the same drive it was deleted from runs the
risk of overwriting other lost files. If you have a large number of files to
recover you should make every effort to find an alternative location to
recover the files to. Try to recover the deleted files to a second hard
drive, alternative partition or even to a packet formatted CD-R.
