Hello. I'm looking for a piece of software that would allow me to
recover files that have been recently deleted from my hard drive in
Windows XP. When I say deleted, I mean from the recycle bin as well.

Kind Regards,

Matthew Boulton

google ntfsundelete.exe.
It works on NTFS of course. It worked good for me.

I recently used GetDataBack for NTFS from Runtime Software on a 500GB
drive. Windows gave me the option of deleting the partition and starting
again but the app got all the data off with no failures at all.

If the deleted files have been overwritten you may have problems getting
the full file(s) back but it's worth a go.

Its not even possible to do that reliably if the drive is formatted HPFS.

free, and it worked(another duplicate file wiper wiped
a bit to well....)

for files that have just been deleted 'pc inspector file recovery'
works fine but if the drive is going bad or you've lost the FAT table or
similar
then getdataback is needed and it about £60 I think

it's not on a partition that's been written to in the interim.
Wrong.

Another good reason not to put anything important
on a Windows OS resident partition.

I dont do that with the PVR files that do get deleted ocassionally in error and cant be recovered reliably.

and well worth the money imo. It saved me losing 400GB+ recently

One of the best solution in the market is Easy File Undelete:

http://www.munsoft.com/EasyFileUndelete/

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software
either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
 
Take the <DEL> key off the ole keyboard?

Care to explain why you have trouble with that in
particular? Undeleting a file that hasn't been overwritten
is pretty routine.

Clearly Rod is talking total bollocks. Yet again.
