I tried norton unerase and no luck!!

Norton Unerase only works if you had Norton Protection enabled on your Recycling Bin BEFORE you hit the delete key. It also (by default) purges files in the protected recycling bin after 7 days or so. You can try using RecoverNT found on the SuperUTL cd created by the master khauyeung. I have not used that utility before, but from what I have read about it on the release notes, it looks like it should be able to do the trick.

Hi,

Assuming you are using a NT based OS (like NT 4.0, W2K or WXP) and therefore the NTFS file system, I would use "Easy Recovery 5.X" from Ontrack Data International. Another similar program is "Lost & Found" a recently discontinued product from Powerquest (it may still be downloadable for free from their web site). Both of these programs boot from DOS and can read some if not all versions of NTFS. Other possibilities are Recover4All professional, and NTRecover. You must use these programs very quickly after the accidental deletion to avoid the data space being overwritten by other programs or the OS. Once the file is overwritten, either partially or completely, you are out of luck. Good luck in your recovery attempts. I would be remiss if I didn't add that frequent backups are your best defense against accidental data loss. CDRW drives and CDRs are so cheap that there is no excuse not to backup your important data.

Yes,

Ontrack Easy Recovery Pro is a good program for doing that ;)

If you have a NTFS volume then find the software called "GetDataBack for NTFS". With that you can search for any files deleted by mistake. And also you shouldn't have the file overwritteb by another file. Otherwise it can't find it. (I don't think anyone can)

Another I like is R-Studio NTFS.
