It if was deleted using DOS, and you have UNDELETE.EXE on your computer, and you run undelete.exe during the same CMD session as when you deleted the folder, then yes, it's possible.

Otherwise...

.......

good luck.

You can get windows based program that can do pretty much the same thing.

But if someone is stupid enough to delete their entire MP3 collection, you have to ask yourself: Is this person really the sort you want anywhere near a computer?

Somehow I think the friend his himself

Isn't that always the case?

No Idiot. My friend the other day poked himself in the eye and he said it really hurt!

If you're running windows, you can't use a DOS command. Search download.com for "file recovery", "undelete", etc.

depends as well on what system your running. If it's windows 200/millenium/XP you may be in with a chance PROVIDING you haven't used the computer in the meantime. If you have and have saved stuff, the computer is gonna start 'Over writing' in ares where the mp3's were. thats gonna need a specailist recovery system to get it back and even then your gonna be lucky not to pick up corruptions.

I got a disk with the Tools you can use for this sort of stuff, 650mb's of Specialist tools on one Bootable Cd-ROm. As for using Undelete.exe in dos, I don't think that was supported after windows95 though I have heard of it being possible in 98.

What ever try not to use that section of your hard drive, quaranteen it some how with partition magick or some way other wise over writes are gonna cause you a major headache.

I have heard also in XP that if you do this that you can get it back via system restore some how.. It's something to do with HD configuration or some thing, not sure.

I wish I could give you a copy of those tools but licence prevents it [?

] they could help you out...

thanks for all the help guys..ill have a look at all the download site and whatnot and c if i can find sumthin that can bring it back. although now im thinking that he won't b able to get it back because he only realised that he deleted it a week later...tool..also he is working on win98..oh and also even if he had winxp windows restore doesn't restore deleted files/folders, just system files that are needed. thanks again.
