    Please repare your xp installation with xp boot cd.


    then use you PC INSPECTOR FILE RECOVERY from


    PCInspector


    to get your deleted files.

    thanks

      Thank you for the link. I have checked and approved it.
      It may not be the solution for this problem, however.

        Hey kestrel,
        The path is usually C:\RECYCLER, but you won't find any of your actual files there.
        Let us know how Algona Recycle Bin Manager 1.0 works for you.

          It depends on your Windows version - under Windows XP Pro there's a hidden folder on C: (or whatever your windows harddrive is) called "RECYCLED" or similar. I don't know about other versions of Windows right now.

            GO my computer>tools> folder option

            unchecked hide system protected files
            than select
            show hidden files

            apply it.
            now open c:\, d:\

            now you are able to view recycle bin folder in root of your any drive.
            Be happy.
