Bring back deleted files 2

[Busken]

Hi, i tried to post this an hour ago but i don't think it worked so I give it another try.

I work for an entertainment company for the moment and a friend of me pressed Shift + Del and deleted the music files we was suposed to use tomorrow.
So, it's a sipmle question.
How do I get the music files back?
This is really urgent, when we are suposed to use the music files in 12 h.
I beg you. If you have any good ideas, please post them.

Best regards,
Erik busk

Hi again everybody, and thanks for all the answers and ideas to my problem.
Since it was a company computer, a lot of people has used it for personal things such as Limewire and itunes. So when i started to ask them exactly witch files/folder was gone, no one could answer. So when i didn't know the file name or folder name, i could not use Shadow Copying thou it seems like a good way to do it.
I ended up using Uneraser (

and it was a pretty good program. I found maybe 40% of the music files i wanted (some of them were corrupted) but since we did not restore all of them we had to call up the studio and wake up some angry people

So, thank you again!

Ah - but you could have used uneraser simply to identify the files, and then used the Shadow Copy solution to recover them instead of uneraser. Alternatively you could have recovered them using uneraser and then used Smah's trick to recover a previous version. In either of these cases you'd have got uncorrupted files back.

Alternatively alternatively you could have used the Shadow Copy features to open an previous version of the C: drive (in the same way we described opening a previous version folder), and then searched it for music files.
