Hi folks,
Have you all had a good holiday? Enjoyed experiences you never come across in your daily life? Good, for it helps keeping a man (M/F) retaining his/her sanity!
I'm about to loose mine, as I deleted a file from a former Windows setup.
At some time, years ago I bought a computer with Windows Me. Later I installed Windows XP on a newly installed second HD.
So, over time the Me install became redundant and I therefore deleted the WINDOWS folder from the old drive. However I overlooked one problem: inside that WINDOWS-folder there was at least one other folder which is still in use.
Is there a way to UNDELETE the entire WINDOWS-folder?
It is a FAT-formatted partition. Nothing has been written to that partition after the delete. I simply tried to remove the folder by putting it to the trashcan, which was to small to accommodate the WINDOWS-folder so it simply deleted the whole thing (after 4.379 dire warnings ofcourse!)
Please help, as my status as man-of-great-knowledge-of-computers is at stake...
Regards,
Tjitte
P.S. I was (wife and kids included) off to Iceland for two weeks. Lovely country!
Provided you've not written any data to the drive since you deleted the files, you can simply purchase of of many exellent programs that will scan the disk for deleted files. I used one called "Recovermyfiles", I think. Registration cost aboot $30.
