Need to undelete a complete directory in Windows 2000 - restored to another directory - original deleted files now gone!
Hi friends,
I accidently deleted a complete directory in Windows 2000. Then used 'File Scavenger' demo version to recover the files to see if they could be recovered. However, it has a 32kb file limit. Doh! So it recovered them at 32kb each to another directory (not the original directory). Now when I do another search with 'file scavenger' the original deleted ones have gone from the original directory!
I'm hoping that they are still there but are hidden from 'file scavenger' or something.
Is there another program that may be able to locate these files/directory (directory named 'concept 3') that were in the original directory location ('c:\my documents\files\concept 3')
Please help - urgent.
