Hi Group

Any decent apps out there to un-delete in FAT32. I just accidentally deleted
about 4GB of data. The drive has not been written to since the deletion so
all files should still be there as this drive is used for storage only and
not a system disk.
Many Thanks

If you have Norton installed that should be able to cope with it, the
trouble is that when you install something to recover the data its likely to
overwrite some of the stuff you 'lost'

I don't have Norton. The partition in question is used only for storage and
as such I have not written any data to it since deletion. It seems FAT32 on
XP can be problematic in terms of data recovery. There are hundreds of apps
out there what I need is a suggestion from someone who has actually
performed this task on FAT32/XP.
Thanks for the response.

Sig too long or you just don't like it?

Thanks. I got a copy of File Recovery Pro which recovered 90%.

Use.Netuser.de scrawled:

It had no delimiter (DashDashSpaceReturn).
It should also be trimmed to no longer than 4 lines, but
the delimiter was the thing.

Erm, no. The sig delimiter comes *before* your sig, which
in turn comes at the end of the post - like mine.

Won't help. OE will "helpfully" strip the trailing space for you.

Use OE-QuoteFix (if you don't find it with Google, someone will
probably point out a link for you) to do the .SIG for you.

Wrong, wrong, WRONG.

It's dash dash space return BEFORE the .SIG.
