Second the motion...The version of Unerase in my possession appears to
work on floppies but trashes the FAT to blazes on a hard disk.  The
author never took the time to properly write the program to check out
which disk it is looking at. I've DEBUGged some of my copy and it looks
like a pretty poor design.  Spend the few bucks and pick up the Norton
Utilities (no commercial plug intended!) or other similar package.  This
is one program that you need to know works perfectly!  The time I tried
it on my hard disk... took me an hour to rebuild it!.
