Need to recover deleted files

Strange indeed… Chances are you wouldn’t be able to recover it anyways as any new data you have written to the drive since then has probably written over those sectors. You could try to recover it with R-Linux  http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/Download.shtml and if it is still there and you deleted it, it will show up as a dimmed file with an icon with an X next to it (if I remember correctly) then you could right click the file and select recover and write it to your computers hard drive. Best of luck
