Hi,

I have a bit of a problem.  I brought a USB stick home from work to use and I deleted some files.  I thought the files were no longer required.  However, it turns out that they are! So, I have TRIED to recover the files but to no avail.  I think the USB stick may be corrupt.  My question is, can the files be recovered remotely? Also, can the USB stick be tracked? Will they see that I have used it at home? I'm worried I'm going to get into TROUBLE. 

I hope someone can help!http://www.piriform.com/recuvaThanks Alan.

I have tried a couple of recovery programmes but to no avail.  I receive error messages saying that the disk (USB) must be corrupt.  Therefore, I have given up hope of being able to restore the data using the USB stick itself.  However, what I wondered is if it is possible to retrieve the data EXTERNALLY without the USB stick?

I have deleted files belonging to someone ELSE (they will likely have these backed up) and I wondered if they would be able to retrieve the data from their PC?
