Re: Fw: [OT] Undeleting files - IMPORTANT

["Pete Shew" <pete@xxxxxxx>]

If you have a spare disk, you could also use a tool like Acronis TrueImage
that can make sector by sector disk copies so that you have more than one
shot at the recovery process.

BTW, is it a FAT or NTFS partition? NTFS is trickier, but some tools will
have a go.  http://www.recovermyfiles.com/Recover_Graphics.html
free trial
claims to show whether the product would succeed, though I've not tried it
