Lost files

[David Ivall]

I have my first experience of deleting files and needing
to retrieve them, tried buying 'undelete' software to
recover but only works on Windows 2000 and above, I have
Windows 98 ... is there a way of recovering the lost
folders and the files in them ??

Thanks for the help ...

You need to quit using the partition that the files were deleted from in
order to prevent the deleted files from being overwritten. You will need
help trying to retrieve the files:

IRecover, $50 to $100, The demo version gives an indication of what
information can be recovered from your hard disk but data is not recovered.
http://www.diydatarecovery.nl/~tkuurstra/index.htm#irecover If your data is
valuable, the author of the software provides tech support should you run
into problems.

Recover4All, $49, demo will retrieve files up to 10 kb and show what else
can be retrieved. Retrieved files are copied to another drive:

Restoration, Freeware, not tried:
