That isn't close to being sufficient. It restores the directory entry, but it doesn't reallocate the file's sector clusters, nor does it re-establish the linkage from one cluster to the next. If the file is more than one cluster long, you have no way of knowing where the rest of it is. With a sector editor, you may be able to find it, particularly if you're lucky and the file wasn't fragmented, or if you know what the file's contents look like. (Good luck if it's some binary format without much readable text in it.) Craig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
