No their damn Nazi's

but thanks!

I can get you a copy of GetDataBack too if you need it. That works well for recovering deleted files...but I've never tried it on a thumbdrive

 

[Dharma1521]

Ugh I can't believe undo didn't work! I'm so pissed right now.

well... i beleive most thumb drives are FAT32, so file undelete programs SHOULD be able to recover the file... if that's any consolation. you'll have to do it at home though.

it's almost quittin time anyways

Open a command prompt

type 'debug' and ENTER

type 'l100 2 0 256' and ENTER

type 'd' and ENTER, repeat until you see the file you deleted with @ replacing the first character of the filename

take note of the address of the @

xxxx is the address, y is the first character of the filename
type 'exxxx "y"' ENTER

type 'w100 2 0 256' ENTER

File should be back, in theory

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Oh it's a thumbrive? Then change the '2' to '3' or '4' or '5' until you find the right drive

type 'debug' and ENTER

type 'l100 2 0 256' and ENTER

type 'd' and ENTER, repeat until you see the file you deleted with @ replacing the first character of the filename

take note of the address of the @

xxxx is the address, y is the first character of the filename
type 'exxxx "y"' ENTER

type 'w100 2 0 256' ENTER

File should be back, in theory

Or youll create a hole in the space-time continuum. Which would be cool too.

i wanted to try that just for the hell of it but got ^ error where the caret pointed at the |

I'm sorry I don't know how to do the first step.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

It's an el, not a pipe

 

[Jonny_B]

oops

 

[plot]

that shits so advanced it's not even on google.

 

[Jonny_B]

disk error reading drive C. It did pop up a nice "blah blah trying to directly access hard drive blah blah" with an ignore button though.

 

[Dharma1521]

Ok wait i think i figured it out but all i get is error

 

[Syrup Beaver]

I should also note, that it'll probably have to be a FAT filesystem to work right - which is common for a thumbrive anyway

 

[Jonny_B]

ok. how do i get out of this?

ahhhh, NTFS here.

edit: nm, quit.
