Deleted File

[kilaj1]

i tend to disagree that system restore would not work. i have uses it b4 and it have worked for me. as matter of fact, after reading this thread i tried....... n it worked!! wasnt a large file, but i used shift_del........ wouldnt hurt to try if he has a recent restore point.

and if i'm remembering correctly, while installing XP, it was saying if you delete a file accidentally u can use system restore......

That why hirens boot CD has like 10 programs for file recovery

most programs mentioned above are on that boot CD

Well, it appears as if Hirens BCD is the all-in-one way to go then.

My friend says he has done the system restore and it worked for him ! So i'll allow him to go ahead and try that. If it doesn't work then I'll try Hiron's Boot Cd

A friend of mine accidentally deleted a folder with some pictures on a Windows Server 2003 machine. It wouldn't have gone to the recycle bin becuz of it's size; How can that folder be restored? I've looked at a software called Undelete plus but nothing is happening. He's suggesting System Restore but i don't know of System Restore retrieving deleted documents.
So What's next...suggestions....anybody?

ok i cant help much as to where recovering the files is concerned but im jus explaining smmn bout sys restore it does not recover deleted data at all wat it can do is installed programs like for example i install adobe reader today and do a restore for yesterday adobe is gone and if i install it today and delte tomorrow i soppposed to can do a sys restore and get it back works for viruses too but it does not delete or recover data it also depends on the amount of space allocated to sys restore and it sopposed to affect data on desktop i have never come across an instance like that b4 those deleted files now hmm try those programmes the good helpers mentioned
