How about your accidently delete your files. What are you going to do?? Just crying? hehe..There is a few software that can help you to recover your 'deleted' files.

This freeware application were (Quote from CyberNotes) :

1. Restoration 3.2.13 (Homepage / Mirror) - No installation is needed for this application and it is so small that it could run on a floppy disk. This is great to store on your USB drive and carry around with you so that you have it easily accessible when it is needed. Not only that but this little application also offers the ability to permanently delete a file from your hard drive.
2. PCI File Recovery 4(Homepage / Mirror) - This program is a little larger because it is available in various languages. It does require installation before being able to use the features.
3. Smart Data Recovery 3.3 (Homepage / Mirror) - This is also a really small application but it does require installation. It can recover files from “hard disks, digital cameras, and any type of storage media - flash drives, USB drives, memory stick, PC card, multimedia card, secure digital card and diskette.” It also has an option to “wipe” a file off of your hard drive and therefore making it unrecoverable in the future.
4. FreeUndelete 2.0(Homepage / Mirror) - The size of this application is similar to the previous one and also requires installation.

This freeware both support NTFS and FAT. If you guys want to read this freeware results just read it here.(pictures here)
