so my boyfriend managed to delete a large portion of his data on one of his partitions and i was wondering if anyone knows how to recover deleted data on a fat32 partition (under windows 2000). (he also has an onboard raid controller and has his drives set up with raid 0, i dont know if that is relevant info or not). i havent used windows in over 3 yrs, so i'm at a complete loss as to what to do, so if anyone has any suggestions, i would really appreciate it. thanks!

Might as well check the obvious first... did you see if the data was in the recycle bin? I know, it's a dumb suggestion, but it never hurts to ask.
Otherwise, you might try either undelete, or try buying or downloading some sort of data recovery tool. I think Norton and Executive Software have tools like that, and you might find something for free from download.com, but I've never had to try it out personally so I'm not sure how well they work.

haha, no, it was not in the recycle bin.

Yeah, I figured you already checked there. Sorry, I wasn't trying to sound like a smartass :)

Did you have any luck with undelete, or with an undelete utility?
