1.	Solve : Format HD, Load OS 4got to copy files 1st?
Answer» I formatted a HD then Loaded an OS (XP) But forgot to copy pictures to thumb drive before doing so. How can I recover them using DOS Undelete?The XP command prompt does NOT permit the USE of the DOS Undelete command, the utility Undelete.exe is not available when using XP, it requires DOS as an operating system and XP does NOT run DOS just a DOS emulator. You re-formatted before re-installing your OS so I doubt if you can recover anything as you probably formatted NTFS. DOS cannot use the NTFS system.. Sorry, I reckon your FILES are unrecoverable unless your hdd is partitioned and your files just might STILL be on a second or SUBSEQUENT partition which has not been formatted. Then you just might be able to recover something using the Undelete.exe utility from a DOS bootdisk although I think this is most unlikely.Agreed. SOL. Sorry.
