Hi all,

I was clearing out some old files, and accidentally deleted something
crucial. I don't know exactly what it was, but when I rebooted, I could
not
get XP to work. So, on advice of my new ex-best friend, I reinstalled XP.
Now
I am in trouble...

My data (a folder on my desktop) is seemingly gone, but is it GONE? Is
there
some program that I can run on the current XP that can search all nooks
and
crannies of the drive for a deleted file?

Help me!
