There's "Lost" the TV series, then there's "Lost" as in losing data files. There are a plethora of utilities that exist, all claiming to recover lost files.
This review focuses upon a utility that's free, and which locates and restores accidentally deleted files.
The name of the utility is Recuva. It's available from http://tinyurl.com/quswbp. It's easy to learn. It works. I tried it and can attest to it's ability to perform as described.
From the website, the following summary:
"Chances are that if you've accidentally erased a file, or something malicious like a worm of virus has done it for you, Recuva will find it. And if it hasn't been overwritten, this program will recover it for you.
We did say delete. Despite the name, and the company's description of it as a "file recovery" utility, Recuva's not a recovery program in the accepted sense because it works only with an intact file system. If you've reformatted your drive, or there are physical errors, you'll need something else.
But if you just want a good un-delete program with a small disk footprint (and no financial cost), then Recuva is what you're looking for. It works on both FAT and NTFS file systems so you can undelete files on virtually any Windows PC ever made, and the interface is the very model of restrained style and efficiency.
