Overview

Summary:

Deleted File Analysis Utility for Windows NT/2000/XP can scan your hard drive partitions and list all deleted files that may still be recoverable. As an emergency recovery solution, it is intended as a first step and requires that you purchase Undelete 4.0 in order to recover any files you may want back. This requires administrative privileges.

Vendor Notes:

Deleted File Analysis Utility's demo version finds deleted files on NTFS partitions, which can possibly be reconstructed. 1. Save the installation files onto a disk. 2. Start the 'setup.exe' on the disk. 3. After completing the installation, start the program 'DelView.exe'
