[luau] HELP please, need "undelete" / data recovery utility for FAT32 (Win 98)

[Wayne Bow]

Hey again,

Careful reading of the page shows that it is uesless on Windows 95 
and above. 

http://howto.lycos.com/lycos/step/1,,139+24365+9953,00.html

tells me that you should contact the manufacturer of the hard drive 
in question and ask them if they have an undelete utility that will 
help. Does not look promising. :(
