| Can anyone tell me the DOS command to attempt to "undelete" something? My colleague mistakenly deleted an entire client file and is about to have a heart attack in the cube next to mine while I'm trying not laugh. I doubt that he'll be able to get it back....he emptied his recycle bin and has accessed and saved other documents since then (btw, using Win98).
Just thought I would ask for him in an effort to help and offer comfort before he tries to jump from our 1st floor office window!
Thanks!!! | |

| If the sector that the file is not been wrote over you should be able to recover it. The dos command would be "undelete".I don't think you should use a dos command to do it with.Especially if running FAT32.I found this doing a quick search on the net.

Maybe this will do it for you. | |

| There are other recovery programs available as well. I think he's gonna have to bite the bullet and install a recovery utility... hopefully that installation won't overwrite the file he's trying to recover! | |

| DOC command will not do the job. If u don't have any recovery uility right now. Forget it. The more you access the HD into different sector, the higher chance is will disapper faster.
Next time for important file: STOP and go to the HD recovery specialist. (only if u don't have recovery program)
Good luck | |

| Yeah. Pretty much what I said this morning. He has to recreate everything for this project now. But like I told him, it's not like Windows doesn't give you multiple opportunities to say "No" about deleting something. I think he actually deleted it without realizing while doing some cleanup and then after he emptied the recycle bin, he pulled the old Homer Simpson...."DOHT!!!"
Thanks all! |
