Recovering deleted files by Medic aka Rocko on 27 Mar, 2008 14:25

Attention Sly computer wizards!
Can anyone recommend software (prefer free) that will let me recover some deleted files. I un-installed some software the other day and it took a bunch of my videos along with it. And no they weren't porn videos
I looked at a couple programs, one was really expensive to actually use, and the other was free but wanted to save the recovered files to another drive (which I don't have). I understand why it wants to do that, but its not an option with me. If I lose some but can recover to the same drive, that's what I want.
Thanks & any help surely appreciated.

I don't have any experience with it, but you could give this a shot.

Even runs from a floppy, which is pretty cool. -

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to recover the files I wanted to, they didn't even show up on the searches, so I guess they're just gone for good.
Bad thing is, a day or two before this happened, I was thinking I needed to get some CDs and make backup copies.
