Restoring Deleted Files

[Guest]

I am an XP home edition user. The computer boomed out on me when i was working on an important document and I lost the file and subdirectory that I had created in my documnets- strange isnt it? When I searched My computer the subdirectory was actually listed and clicking on it tells me the directory was moved/deleted.

However, there used to be an undelete function in MSDOS prompt which I have used successfully to restore deleted files in the past- but alas, I cant find it in XP now. Is there any way I can restore the lost file and or subdirectory?

Any ideas to (e-mail address removed).

Hi,

There is no undelete function in Windows. You can try a freeware file
recovery program, it may help if the file has not been overwritten or was
not corrupted. The one here works fairly well:
