Hello,

I used my system restore CD rom and stupidle did not take a back-up of my files (I only did this because the programme wizard said it make an automatic one - it didn't ).

I have heard that when a file gets deleted it gets partitioned elsewhere, is this true and how do I go about restoring these file?

Thanks

If you've restored an image, I'm sorry to say that I think your chances of restoring any files are virtually zero. However if you want to try undeleting files, I'd suggest you try "FreeUndelete". You can download it at http://www.majorgeek...wnload4407.html

I copied the following directly from the website for ya.

In case of accidental deletion of files on a NTFS file system (used by default in Windows XP, 2000 and NT) FreeUndelete is the utility to help.
