[Discussion] Help- File Recovery

[Carl Gehr]

Have you tried DFSee?

OTOH, if you've used the system very much since the deletes, it is
likely [as I understand it] that the space for the files has been
reused for something else.  I've always been told that, if you
accidently delete something, stop using the system [or at least the
drive] immediately.  Otherwise, the odds are, the data is gone.

Good luck!
