This is another portable app that I carry with me on my USB drive. It consists of an EXE and two DLLs, so it is best to keep it in its own folder. Total file size is about 413KB, unzipped.

The purpose of this program is to help you recover or restore files that have been deleted. It works on Fat12, Fat16, Fat32 and NTFS (compressed NTFS too). It will not work on encrypted NTFS.

The very best part of this program is that it works without needing to be installed. If you accidentally deleted a file, you don't want to go installing software on your hard drive as this will lessen your chance of recovering your lost file(s). This program can run straight from your USB drive and restore things from just about any drive mounted in your system. I even used it to undelete pictures deleted from my camera. The camera (a fuji s5000) was plugged into my computer via its usb cable and it was showing up as a drive under "my computer" I just ran Restoration, pointed it to my XD card and voila! The picts that my nephew deleted were back.

The newest version of this program that I've been able to find is 2.5.14 and I can't seem to find a publisher's website for it. The program is downloadable here (161KB).
