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!
Elf Wizard :-)

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?

At the bottom of the application where it says
"sign here". I put "Sagittarius"

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.
