72660, Help!!! (emergency - important source code accidently deleted)
Posted by guest, Sat May-04-02 04:56 AM
I was programming and the programs was acting very crazy so I decided to shift + delete it and restart, it had too much bugs I did not know where they were coming from, it looked more like a corrupted file or something. So I close VC++, click the up button in explorer and shift delete. I did it too fast and deleted the wrong source code! What program can I use to retrieve it? It's a very important folder of source code, the program was going well. I only noticed when it sayed "this program is an executable! Are you sure you want to delete it?" and the name was not the one I wanted to delete. So I still have the exe file, but even if I dissasemble it, it would not be the same. I know there's programs to retrieve data but I'm not sure what to look for. I never ran into a bad situation like this before. I feel so stupid of holding down shift. I got this habit of doing so when I know for sure I don't want the file. To not overwrite the data, I switched partitions and I'm now in Windows 2l, while the... wait a sec, just realised this won't do a difference, it's on my D drive, so I won't access it no more then. I'll stay in win 2k anyway since there's less stuff installed and less chance of having an access to the D drive. I badly need to retrieve this folder. Hope you can help!

edit: I've been searching and can't find anything free, I just thought I'd specify that I want it free (or cracked). This is an emergency and I don't have the time or resources to buy some stuff for one time use. I don't see the point of paying. By the way, anyone still using Windows 3.11 ? It has an utility like that, I don't know why they removed it from the later versions.




Tired of bugs(Y/N)?
