• TestDisk & PhotoRec

TestDisk was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally erasing your Partition Table).

TestDisk is a free and useful program which queries the BIOS ( DOS/Win9x) or the OS ( Linux, FreeBSD) in order to find the Hard Disks and their characteristics ( LBA size and CHS geometry). TestDisk does a quick check of your disk's structure and compares it with your Partition Table for entry errors. If the Partition Table has entry errors, TestDisk can repair them. If you have missing partitions or a completely empty Partition Table, TestDisk can search for partitions and create a new Table or even a new MBR if necessary.

I guess this software will help you to acces deleted files and thus can reduce your tension. Please provide some views regarding this article

that indeed was helpful.. i have deleted things in the past by mistake .. well know ill try one of these in case i repeat my mistakes...

This is more hypothetical, i have no need to recover files and i'm well aware of the software available which does it (PS Glary utilities is a great free one)
I'm curious as to how the space is deleted, yet sometimes a whole file can be recovered.It is simply a case that the memory is not deleted, it is just eligable to be over written and therefore classed as free?

What exact problem are you talking? And what space are you talking about that is deleted? Normally, when the hard disk becomes old, because of continous data copying and deleting, the MBR of the hard disk gets corrupted and therefore space in this corrupted mbr are deleted and cannot be used. However there are free partition software that can be used to recover this corrupted mbr.
