[Ham-Computers] Restoring a File Not in the Recycle Bin

[Jim Hill]

Thanks, Jeff and Paul, for the tip.
I attempted to use Photo Recovery, but have not figured out a method 
to select only the file I deleted.  I thought I could specify the 
name, but it appears that Photo Recovery processes the entire drive 
and I need adequate space on another drive to save all data from the 
problem drive.  Am I correct?  I could resolve this issue by using an 
external drive; does this approach seem reasonable?  I have Photo 
Recovery on a flash drive, and it appears that I could use the flash 
drive (but there isn't adequate space).

I experimented with the Data Recovery program, but it appears data is 
recovered by fixing problems with the drive, not working with the problem file.
