    Hi Friends

    Some time back I tried a File recovery aoolication which more or less
    worked like Testdisk but very simple.

    It checked the hard disk for erased files - here is the differenve -
    it offered to mount the files so you can copy the files to a chosen
    location. It was really good and simple. All free and no limitations.

    Somehow I lost that file. Now I need that application but I do not
    remember the name of the application. (I am dodderingly old with some
    lapses of memory!)

    If any of you know of such an application please help with the name of
    such an application

    What you are looking for *sounds* like "Windows File Recovery". The
    search result page above has links to "how-to-use-this" pages. It also
    has links to tons and tons of others. You might recognise the name of
    yours if you carefully examine the results.

    I hope this helps.

    J.
