Finding Files on Completely Deleted Hard Drive
My sister has (now had) a Dell Inspiron from 2003. Recently, she told me that a loud noise was coming from the computer. After I heard it, the noise sounded familiar to me... which happened to be the fan for the processor going bad (it happened to two of my work computers in a 10 day span). So I was able to get similar computer and put my sister's hard drive in the machine and a friend helping me accidentally deleted all the files in the hard drive without saving the files already in there... or at least the pictures that I was supposed to retrieve.
So my question. Does anyone know what program or how (if possible) I can retrieve the files on the hard drive? I know I will have to reinstall the operating system (because it was totally wiped clean). Unfortunately, I will only have a couple months before all the old computers are to be completely turned in so they can be replaced.
I do appreciate the help anyone can offer.
