I don't use Flash much. Insert your USB drive. Go into Recyclle Bin on the Desktop, pressing r until you find it and hit enter. now, press alt-v then I, and then arrow to "original location". You will now see a list of your deleted folders and files. Restore those you want to restore. Alternatively, if you don't get back what you lost, bring your memory stick to a tech shop and ask them if they can recover the deleted files on it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roslyn Allman" <roslynallman@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 6:34 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: SOS, Deleted folder Hi Flor and Eleanor, Thanks for the messages sent in. Flor could you talk me through what to do in Recycle Bin. I went in here already but was unsure of what to do and didn't want to do any more damage. I found a list of folders, e.g. Local Disks Folders, My Computer, etc. I was going to enter in here on My Computer, then go into my pen drive, but was unsure of where to go then. I may not even have been right going this far. Sorry, but what are the flash memory tools? Do you need certain software on your computer for this?
