ok my gf's sis just lost some files. she had made a project on photoshop n it got deleted, even from the recycle bin.
now dont ask me how. coz i dont know the full story.

so is there anyway to get back files deleted from the recycle bin in WIN98??

n when u make something in photoshop does it go to any temp folder or something??

I use a program called Restoration. The file name is REST2514.EXE and can be found on Google.

It recovers files, wipes out sectors, and such. It will recover the file succesfully, unless the sectors where the data exists was altered blink.gif

most of them come out corrupted or either empty

any other prog which gets it back in its 100% condition??

No, if they are corrupted, then they were at least partially overwritten. In that case, nothing can recover it. See, how a hard drive works, is you put data on it, and when you delete it, it just marks a flag basically, that says its deleted and empty. Next time you write something to the disk, it looks for the first free area, and writes to that area, thus overwriting anything that was previously on there and marked as deleted. Sorry sad.gif

What the man says...
BTW that's how all these undelete utilz used
to sell years ago. They used to protect the
deleted file area.

A good reason to run GoBack. It will let you recover a lost file, even older revisions of an existing file as well as roll your entire harddrive back to an earlier state.

Hi,

A idea for you to consider in the future (because nothing is going to help you get these files back). One of the features of Windows Server 2003 is "Shadow Copy". This saves old copies of updated documents until the allocated HD space for this feature is used up. It then starts getting rid of the oldest stuff. This makes recovery of deleted or corrupted documents as simple as just a couple of clicks. This is some of the propaganda that Microsoft is telling us to get people to upgrade from their older server versions. Chances are you already have a copy of this OS (a beta, RC release, or may be even the RTM) laying around that you were wondering what it was good for.

So you're suggesting someone on Windows 98 move to Windows Server 2003?!?!?! blink.gif

Come on!!! There are plenty of other ways to prevent this problem from occurring that are much more realistic.
ImSkiZZer
Win 98 to 2003 server is too big a jump..... especially if you never even used win2k or xp....
There are other ways...
I mean the simplest is to use Norton protected recycle bin....
There are tons of ways......

the only way you will get that back is by hacking the reg and system folders to pieces. BTW that will be illegal.
and only if the sectors havent been over written
