recovering after reformatting
ron
I accidentally erased my hard drive while installing a new hard drive.
I did not have NU installed at the time. I reformatted the old drive
and installed some software. I bought NU and ran unerase. It did not
find any files I wanted to restore. If I go back and try to unformat
the drive, is there any hope of recovering old files? I'd like to know
before I try it and have to re-install everything.
Thanks,
Ron

You best bet for data recovery on this drive is manual UnErase from DOS.
Since you were not running NU previously AND reformatted the drive, unformat
won't work very well. Concentrate only on files you really need to recover.
Refer to the documentation, I believe we include material that details this
process.

I have had the same situation as Ron - I would like to try your recommended
solution, but don't know where to find a DOS version of Unerase. I have the NU
for WIN95. Can you help on this question?
Reese Anschultz (Symantec)
Unformat will 'unerase' all of the files that it can from your formatted
drive. Some files probably have been stepped on by your latter installations
but others may still be recoverable, especially if you ran Image on the
drive prior formatting.

Thomas,
You have a DOS version of Unerase and it can be found in one of three
places. You can find it on one of the Emergency disks that came with
NU, one of the Rescue disks that you may have made or in the folder
where you installed NU on your hard drive.

"Unerase.exe," the same program Norton uses, is a DOS program and can be run from the command line. Also, if you have the Windows 95 CD or upgrade, you can use undelete.exe which is found in the "\OTHER\OLDMSDOS" directory.

Thomas D. West
I still can't find unerase.exe - I have a trial version of NU 3.0, so I don't have
any emergency disks, and I haven't run rescue. I re-installed NU several times,
including selecting the DOS files install each time, but I cnanot find any DOS files
under the NU directory.

Thanks John. As I'm having a problem with my CD drive and DOS, I copied undelete.exe to my C: drive and booted to DOS. Undelete.exe finds nothing when I run it. Where can I find the parameter definitions for using Undelete?
(I threw out my DOS books a few years ago, and the new WIN95 doc dosen't include anyting on DOS...).

The trial version does not have working DOS programs. You need to
purchase it to activate the DOS programs.

Go to a system prompt and type "undelete /?" or "unerase /?" That will give a command summary.
