	If you can get your hands on Norton Utilities, Mace Utilities,
PC Tools Deluxe or any other file/disk management program then you have a good
chance of recovering your files as long as you don't write new files to your
hard disk.  Your deleted files are still on the hard disk until there are
overwritten by a new file.  With norton utility all you have to do is type
"qu" for quick-unerase and your will be prompted for each deleted file.
There are also undelete utilites in public domain and bboards.  What utilities
do you have?  If you don't have any such programs, don't write any large files
to your hard disk and get a copy of a utility program a.s.a.p.  If you can get
your hands on a program then your in business.
