In general, when files are deleted, they are not really erased from the hard disk but only unindexed in the file allocation table.
In windows XP, there is the "recover" command to be used in Command Line (MS-DOS), but you have to remember the exact name of the file.
There is also a lot of different tools to recover data from crashed hard disk.
Some examples :
- R-Undelete
- Ontrac EasyRecovery
- R-Studio (the best (but not free) for me because it help me to recover twice more than 100 Gb on a hard-disk which FAT crashed)
Good luck ;-)
