You can try Recuva - but it may be too late

I'm just here to entertain you all :-)

Dave, will Recuva work if a system restore has been done?

[sunny-dave]

Depends if the relevant files happen to be on a bit of the hard drive that didn't get overwritten ... possible but not all that likely. Worth a try though.

Follow Eccles recipe and then just empty it into open PC casing!! and turn on!

[ChuckFickens]

You should also remove the drive from the computer and use a usb hard drive adaptor and another computer to recuva the files, trying to run it on the drive you're trying to recover the files from is a bad idea.

The lamb sounds nice though.
