Is it possible to restore my document?

Question: I have deleted a very important document. It was deleted BEFORE Active@ UNDELETE was installed on my computer. Is it possible to restore it?

Answer: Yes, if the file has not already been over-written (by another file).

As soon as you discover that an important file is deleted, download and install Active@ UNDELETE and search for this file. It is a good idea to avoid disk activity on the particular hard drive where the file should have been. Here are some tips:

• Do not add or delete files or applications on this drive
• Avoid restarting the computer, if possible
• Do not invoke a large number of programs concurrently (this causes increased page-swapping activity)

Any of these activities might overwrite or partially overwrite a deleted document. Any changes to the Files Table will make finding a deleted file more complicated.

The more free hard drive space you have on your computer, the greater the chances for a successful retrieval of deleted file contents. It is always a good idea to extract and install Active@ UNDELETE to a SEPARATE physical or logical hard drive - one that does not contain important deleted files.
