As a rule DO NOT write anything on that drive until all your data is recovered. Not even as part of the recovery process, choose to recover your data on another drive. This way you can try multiple tools and see what works for you without doing further damage. I have used Advanced NTFS Undelete with very good results: http://www.datanumen.com/ntfs-undelete/ This is assuming you have a NTFS file system on that drive. Right click on the drive, choose Properties from the context menu, the file system type is displayed on the "General" tab. -- Attila -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
