The Doctor Message #5242, posted at 00:14, 8/10/2000
Unregistered user After spending about 2 and a half solid days redesigning my website with a
new layout, new graphics and many new pages all hand coded, I decided to do
a quick count of all the files and managed to delete the whole lot of them
by mistake. (Why doesn't RO4 have a recycle bin???)
This was about 10 mins ago, as it's taken me this long to recover from the
shock.
Please, someone tell me a way to recover the files, as I don't think I can
get the enthusiasm to design and code everything all over again.
Please?

Unregistered user Matthias Seiffert has a program (which doesn't appear on his web site) which he sent to me to allow me to recover files from a HDD I had accidentally initialised. I don't have his email address handy, but if you read the comp.sys.acorn.* newsgroups you will easily find it. Send him an email and I am sure he will send you a copy.
Of course, this may be what has evolved into his disc recovery package, a read-only version is on his web site. wink

I know this won't help now, but it should help prevent further mishaps. I know how you feel, I once deleted the entire drive_c partion frown

Don't let it get you down tongue
