HD delete retrieve
Lee,
I've found Dave Haynie's DISKSALV program very useful for retrieving
accidentally deleted files. This program is freely redistributable, and
should be available in one of the Libs here, or in AmigaTech.
Commercially, I just picked up a copy of Quarterback Tools last weekend,
and it claims to be able to retrieve deleted files, although I've not yet
had a chance to test this feature. QBT also optimizes disks (all kinds),
and can perform various operations on bad disks.
I have used QBT to optimize my hard disk and although it worked great, I
had to reboot after the reorganization. I couldn't exit the program – it
seemed to lock up after it was finished. It did a fantastic job of
reorganizing my drive, though. It really flies now!
BTW – Make sure you don't write anything to the drive you want to
recover your file from. If even one byte of your deleted file gets
overwritten, you can never get it back. Good luck!
