Recovering files once deleted.

[Videot]

I have just highlighted a few files & deleted them without using the recycle
bin. I may have highlighted too great a range of files before deleting. I
have some software here somewhere from a CD from a PC magazine that is
supposed to allow you to recover file before they are overwritten. If I
install this program is it likely to give be the file names & time date
deleted or do I have to know what files I want before you start using the
utility?

Hi,

Without knowing what utility it is, that is an impossible question to
answer. Is there any accompanying documentation or a readme file on the
disk? Keep in mind that the longer you use the system, the less the chance
of recovering deleted files as they may be overwritten.

Don't you worry, help is more affordable than you think! Especially
when you consider what your time is worth to you, and how important
you place on your valuable data.

My company specializes in computer forensic data recovery services and
data recovery software development. We develop and employ the latest
data recovery software on the market so we can often recover deleted
files pretty quickly! We serve individuals, small businesses, and
corporations worldwide.

We can:
- recover lost files
- recover deleted files
- recover deleted e-mail messages
- rebuild and recover entire physical disk partitions
- recover raid data
- recover pictures
- discover evidence related to investigations (e.g., Internet
activity)

In your case, it is very likely that we could recover most, if not
all, of your data. Because you know the name of the folder or files that
were deleted, it would be pretty quick for us to do. We can also search
for specific filenames you need recovered and even recover partially
overwritten data (e.g., an important MS Word document).

Once you delete your data and empty the recycle bin, your data ends up
in unallocated space. So essentially, you can try using third party
freeby software and cross your fingers, or you can leave it up to the
experts.

By the way, we serve both individuals and corporations. Our rates are
very reasonable and you only pay if we recover your data. No data, no
charge. What we would need is your hard drive shipped to us or a "dd"
image (through Unix) on DVD or CD.

For simple jobs, we'll usually send you your data on CD or DVD usually
within 48 hours! We charge by the hour, but with every job you get a
full up-front estimate BEFORE we begin any work. You get a complete
forensic report (if required), and your data recovered on CD or DVD.

If you would like more information, you can visit my company's website
at http://www.armordata.com and you can even fill out a free online
request for quotation. We're a small but reputable company and we
pride ourselves (above all else) on customer satisfaction, more so
than making a quick buck.
