Does anyone have a recommendation for a freeware "undelete" program for

I have a hard time justifying this much money for a single utility like
this.


I have had success using the DOS 6.22 UNDELETE on floppies under Win
95.  I've not tried on a hard drive but don't see why it wouldn't work.  No
cost to try...  This is the special procedure you need to use:


Find olddos/files(whatever it is called)? on Win9x CD or from DOS 6.22:

Once you find the UNDELETE.EXE file, locate it into the
\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory of your Win 95 system.

To use undelete, close out of Windows and run from locked MS-DOS
mode prompt ..., i.e.:

      START > SHUT DOWN > RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE to get DOS prompt.

      From the DOS prompt type:

           LOCK UNDELETE A:\completefilenamewithextension--whatever
           the deleted file was ...

                                    OR,

           LOCK UNDELETE A:\*.* to get a list of what can be
           undeleted (using the DOS directory) this way.

      Once the undeletion(s) are complete ...

      From the DOS prompt type:

           UNLOCK EXIT
