Does anybady know how to recover (unerase, undelete)accidentally
erased files in a disk "fdisked" to the FAT 32 system? In a FAT16
system this can be done 3 ways: through Norton's unerase, through
Norton's diskedit changing the "sigma" at the beginning of the file to
anther character or via diskedit.
Is something similar available in System 32 (Windows 98)?

in some cases, you may be able to try using a fdisk /mbr, in other
cases you may need to use a low level editor and manually change the
data in the boot partition of the drive, although this may be beyond
tedious.(perhaps when you view the data on the disk using a low-level
formatter, you may search for areas of the disk where there are not
any "00" or repetitive data, this may signify the beginning of a file
system, beyond that, you may need to change the first letter of each
file back to its original letter.also, sometimes even after
formatting/fdisking a drive, you may be able to run a windows xp disk
and access the old root....
