the kind of program you are looking for is also known as an 'Undeleter' or 'Undeleting' utility. basically, when you 'delete' files on a computer, they are only deleted from the Master File table, which is an index of all the files on your pc, and then when you write new info to your drive, if a file is off the MFT, its written over. but if you use an undeleting utility soon enough, most of the data can be recovered, put back on the MFT, and consequently, seen by windows again  |
