DiskDoctor or Disksalv only works for floppies.  I haven't heard of any decent
Undelete program for the Amiga.  I wish I had good news for you Karl but
perhaps someone else does and I can rejoice before pulling the same stunt?
 
We are looking for a Utility that will Locate deleted file(s) and Undelete
them from any storage partition.
