Re: Wiping Win2000 partiton

Hi Mike,

No, I did not try and recover the file. I have no way to retrieve
just one file. However it's a scan in jpeg format, and what appears to
be a complete thumbnail was presented by eIMAGE Recovery's Preview
Pane. It's only a Demo for evaluation, and won't retrieve. That file
is on a tiny H partition. On the D partition, eIMAGE Recovery found
bouqou files. Some were marked Damaged; most appeared intact.

I'll start the sdelete as per your example, and report back. It's
sitting on 1% and has to clean the free space of a 30 gig partition,
so this may take a while.

Once complete, I am thinking that Norton's Unerase would provide a
good test, along with eImage Recovery's application.
