Fast File Undelete ver 2.1 supports Windows 95(OSR2),98, Me, NT 4.0 and 2000.

There are three versions of Fast File Undelete.

1.) A version for Win 95(osr2), 98 and Me.

2.) A version for NT & 2000.

3.) A version for Win 95(osr2), 98, Me, NT and 2000.

There is one Demo Version which will work on all of the above operating systems it is limited to recovering files up to 15k in size.

Fast File Undelete recovers files that have been deleted and removed from or by passed the Recycle Bin.  Fast File Undelete provides detailed information on the files found during the recovery process.  Details provided on the files found include: path, size, access date, update date and start cluster or inode.

When using Fast File  Undelete on 9.x, Me Fast File Undelete will rebuild the Long File Name if possible; however, it is not always possible to do so.  When files are eight characters or less in length Fast File Undelete will display the file name with the first character replaced with an asterisk ( * ).

Deleted Directories - Files in deleted directories can be recovered with there full file names intact.  However, the directories themselves can not be recovered.

File fragmentation: Files are not written contiguously on the drive.  For example let us say that a file is taking up five clusters of space on a hard drive.  Usually it would be written on contiguous clusters i.e. 50, 51, 52, 53, 54.  However, a fragmented file is not contiguous i.e. 50, 51, 70, 75, 76.  There is usually only a small percentage of the drive that is fragmented.  If you have defragmented your drive on a regular basis the chances of complete recovery is very high. Even if the drive has never been defragmented you will recover good data.  But chances are you will also recover some fragmented files.  Do not defrag after losing data.

Deleted data:   Deleted data which has been emptied from or bypassed the Recycle Bin is marked as free usable space on the storage media where it exists.  Do not write data to a drive where you wish to recover data.  Minimal use of the storage media will increase your recovery chances. Defragment your drive on a regular basis and this will increase your chances of recovery when data is lost and needs to be recovered  Do not defrag after losing data.

Recovered data that is fragmented or partially overwritten may be partially unreadable.

Interface

Interface:

To start the recovery process. Choose the file option from the main menu.  Next, select the Choose Source and Destination option.

 A new screen will appear.  The list on the top of the screen will show all of the available source drives to recover data from.  The list on the bottom of the screen will show a list of destination drives available to transfer recovered deleted files to.  Click the Choose Directory button on the bottom left corner of the screen.  This will build a list of directories on the destination drive.  Click on the "+" to expand a directory or click on the folder to select it as the directory where the recovered files will be saved. After you have chosen a directory to save data to, double click on the Done button.

Selecting Source and Destination Drives Screen.

You will now have returned to the original screen.

Before you start your scan you may want to search for specific files or file types. To begin the scan click on Scan Source Drive located under the File option on the main menu.  You may stop the scan at any time by clicking on Terminate Scan located under the File option on the main menu. When the scan is complete you will see Finished in the status box and you will notice the current cluster will have stopped moving.

Configuration:  The configuration option is located under Options on the main menu.  This will allows the program to be configured to skip browser cache or scan browser cache.  In addition, the program performs a Quick Scan or a Slow Scan.  Slow Scan is a sector by sector scan for FAT drives.  Quick Scan is the default and will find lost data in most circumstances.

To continue with saving the recovered files

Go to Searching for files by name or extension.

Go to Saving Data .


Searching for files by name

Search:

You may use the Scan Filter to search for specific file names or to search for specific file types.  Example you can use the * wild card to search for all files containing a doc extension by typing *.doc in the Scan Filter.  You can also search for multiple file types by using a comma to separate the file types in your query.  Another example would be searching for Word Documents as well as Rich Text Files. To do so you would type the following in the Scan Filter *.doc, *.rtf

The previous search string would tell Fast File Undelete to search for files containing rtf and doc extensions.

If you are searching for one deleted file in particular you can type the file name in the Scan Filter box and it will locate that file.

Note:  Should you choose to search for one file you may want to exclude the first character of the file name from the search.  Fast File Undelete will rebuild the Long File Name if possible; however, it is not always possible to do so.  When Fast File  Undelete can not rebuild the Long File Name it will replace the first character of the file name with an asterisk * sign. When using on NT or 2000 NTFS to recover files emptied from the Recycle Bin you should use the wild card * and the file extension to search.  Please see Introduction for details on recovered file names
