Recover those Deleted Files -use a USB Key

Have you ever deleted files and then did the “oh crap… I need that back” dance?    Perhaps the files were deleted accidentally or maliciously even – and your wallet just can’t afford to take the hit to pay for someone to recover the data.  TechiePortal had a great posting reviewing two free applications that will help you recover your data.

First is Glary Undelete – a freeware application that can grab data deleted from your Recycle Bin – files deleted using the shift-delete key stroke – as well as recover files from digital cameras and memory cards.   Both NTFS as well as FAT file systems are supported – and supports both Vista as well as Windows XP.   The HostMedic agency has not tested Windows 7, 2003 or 2008 as of the posting of this entry.

Second – is a portable recovery application that is so small – you can even run it on your USB Stick.  Restoration runs pretty much the same as Glary Undelete – and for a simple Sub 300KB application it is absolutely Awesome.
