You can try PartedMagic LiveCD to recover the files (doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, jpg, jpeg, etc.) that have been accidentally deleted or on-delete in the media hard drive / external, usb flash disk (UFD), cdrw, dvdrw, MMC, SD Card, etc. Despite displays text only, but his ability is very powerful.
First always use Partition Magic under Windows XP, but now I used to manage hard drive using GParted (in PartedMagic or PuppyLinux - Thanks so much for Barry Kauler: "I have not found any other linux distro very mini, very useful, up to date , and directly barking, besides PuppyLinux ") to partition the new hard drive, resize partition that is narrow, and backup/copy partitions.
