This is PCI file Recovery, Prot.
Don`t install it on the partition your trying to recover from.
`Cos you`ll start over-writing.
And recover to another partition ie Not the dodgy one.

Hi all,
Unfortunately under XP and NTFS, undelete tools are not so effective as
used to be under 98 and FAT32.
But give them a try (the last one is only for cameras):

a) Restoration (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html)
b) PC Inspector File Recovery
(http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/welcome.htm).
c) Smart NTFS Recovery (http://www.smartpctools.com/ntfs_recovery/).

PhotoRec (for cameras): http://www.cgsecurity.org/photorec.html .

Good Luck!

I used this one last week for somebody who had done a complete install of
Windows XP instead of a repair install. On an 80 gig NTFS drive, after 24
hours, it had only done 30%. Slow as molasses it was. PC Inspector did
however get back many of the pictures the owner was sure she had lost. I'll
give it 2 thumbs up for recovery, but 1 for speed.

thanks everyone.

tim, that is similiar to my situation, i took my 300G and unhooked it
from the MoBo and installed it in an external usb case and windows xp
only saw it at 32G FAT32 after that. :-(

Do you prefer speed and no recovery to slow and full recovery?

Do you prefer speed and no recovery to slow and full recovery?

For free, I'll take whatever I can get
However, I have used tools in the past, and couldn't remember the names,
that did much the same only faster. NTFS is the reason for the hit in
speed as a warning box pops up telling me that it will only run in
"intensive mode" (my quotes). Using a FAT32 drive, this tool may only take
minutes.
But again, as I said in my prior post, despite the speed it's a great tool.
