URGENT-HELP 3GB data inadvertently deleted

[coucou]

Hi,

I was working on my computer when I decide to delte some files... I've deleted 3 GB data (5 years works). I don't know how it's happened.

By closely watching the System Volume Information directory. I noticed the content of it (files and directories):

H:\System Volume Information\

tracking.log

40K (6 january 2010 19:11:58) Can't read it with NotePad.

And the 3GB data are here:

H:\System Volume Information\_restore{E871533E-3F96-4615-8D8B-A207AF0A120A}\

RP737\

they are 149 files (different sized) starting name from A0196887.exe to A0197035.exe.

Added to these files there is change.log(79K) and RestorePointSize (1K)

Anyone have any idea what utility can read the .log files and how to recover all thes files (3 GB) with the original filename?

Regards

If you just deleted the data, you can use an undelete utility.

Is this NTFS or FAT32?

Suitable apps:

TNX jaclaz for yr help.

The disk concerned is NTFS disk.

I've tested all the given suitable apps. Recuva is my preferd one, but I don't use it.

I used Power Data Recovery. I got success to recover all my data (finalyy 12 GB). It's a very powerful, easy and friendly to use. I warmly recommend it.
