Recovering deleted files
« on: March 27, 2008, 02:25:19 PM »
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 >:D

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.
