I need a really good file recovery application

I think someone got on my system and deleted some of my files (most importantly, my address book and my backup address book). I'm running Win XP with NTFS partitions and I don't mind paying ~$50 if the program really works well.

Save and run it from a separate partition, or risk loosing data.

Ok this makes no sense. Two programs are both showing that the files weren't deleted. This is the first time I used my PC since the files came up missing....

I mean that the program you linked and a program from cnet both do no show contacts.txt as a partially deleted file.

Sounds gay, but you checked your recycle box right?

Then it may have been written over. Text files are tiny and if it was in your main drive, then just browsing the web may have killed it.

But...it should still exist on my media drive that hasn't been accessed at all.

Nothin after a deep scan. Found stuff I deleted last month but nothing new.

At first glance I read.. I need a really good life recovery application.
Man, I'd wish those would exist.

Once I get my new phone I'm backing up religously. I never thought I would actually lose my phone permanently.
