You can also use the nice program called RecoverII I recently found.  It's
a nice little gem that will search the hard drive partition and let you know
the files that have been recently deleted, and gives you the option to 
completely erase or recover the files to another partition/device.

With the nice intuition interface, I would say that in recovering files,
RecoverII will get my patronage.
