^BTo recover an erased file:^B

  1 If the file to be recovered was on a different drive, choose
    CHANGE DRIVE from the FILE menu (^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BD^B).
  2 If the file to be recovered was in a different directory,
    choose CHANGE DIRECTORY from the File menu (^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BR^B).
  3 When the proper drive and directory are selected, highlight
    the file to be recovered in the list box.
  4 Select the [UnErase] button located in the lower-right corner
    of the screen.
  5 Enter a new first letter for the filename.

^BNote:^B DOS overwrites the first letter of the filename when it
      erases a file. The first letter that you enter does not
      need to be the original letter; any letter will do as long
      as the renamed file does not have the same name as another
      existing file. You can rename the file later.

^BTo recover an erased a file when you don't know its directory:^B

  1 Choose VIEW ALL DIRECTORIES from the File menu (^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BA^B).
  2 In the list box, highlight the file to be recovered.
  3 Select the [UnErase] button.
  4 Enter the first letter of the filename when prompted.

^BTo recover more than one or all the erased files in a directory:^B

  1 Select individual files by pressing the Spacebar to tag
    desired files or by clicking them with the mouse.
    Or,
    Choose SELECT GROUP from the File menu (^BGray +^B) to enter a
    DOS wildcard specification (*.* means all files).
  2 Select ^b[UnErase]^b.
  3 Check the "Prompt for missing 1st letter" check box if you
    want to enter the first character for each file. Otherwise,
    UnErase will generate an unambiguous first letter
    automatically.
  4 Select ^b[UnErase]^b.
^BTo recover an erased a file when you know the filename, but its^B
^Bdirectory has been removed:^B

  1 Find the name of the removed directory in the erased files
    list box.
  2 Select ^b[UnErase]^b.
  3 Recover the file or files from the newly restored directory.
^BTo recover an erased file when the directory cannot be recovered:^B

  1 Choose SEARCH FOR LOST NAMES from the Search menu (^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BL^B).
  2 In the list box, highlight the desired file to recover.
  3 Select ^b[UnErase]^b. The recovered file is placed
    in the current directory (since the original directory no
    longer exists).

^BNote:^B Just as the data area of an erased file may be
      overwritten by a new file, DOS may overwrite the directory
      entry of an erased file with a new file entry. This may
      prevent full recovery.
^BTo recover an erased file when you don't remember the filename:^B

  1 Choose SEARCH FOR TEXT from the Search menu (^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BT^B).
  2 Enter a piece of distinctive text from the file.
  3 Optionally, check Ignore Case so that capitalization is
    ignored.
  4 Recover the file or files.
  Or,
  1 Choose SEARCH FOR DATA TYPES from the Search menu (^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BD^B).
  2 Check Normal Text, Lotus, or dBASE, as appropriate.
  3 Recover the file or files.
In many cases, you may wish to use the command-line version:

   ^bUNERASE^b ^Bfilename.ext^B

to quickly recover a file that you have just deleted. Or you
can pre-select a group of files by using a wildcard filespec.
For instance,

  ^bUNERASE C:\*.bat^b

selects all the batch files in the root of drive C: (for
instance, after you accidentally type DEL *.BAT). This
simplifies your recovery steps.
$The UnErase main screen lets you choose which file or files to
recover. Use ^B^B and ^B^B to move the highlight bar up and down.
Select ^b[UnErase]^b to recover the file.

If you don't see the file you want to recover:

  ^b
^b Use the File menu ^hChange Directory^h command to look in
    another directory.
  ^b
^b Use the File menu ^hView All Directories^h command to list
    all erased files on the drive.
  ^b
^b Use ^hSearch menu^h commands, such as ^hFor Lost Names^h to look
    for erased files from directories that have been removed.

Select ^b[Info]^b for details about the highlighted file and
your chances of recovering it. If the file has a long file name,
that name appears below the DOS file name in the Information
dialog.

Select ^b[View]^b to examine the file contents.

You can also tag multiple files for recovery (see below).

The ^bName^b column gives the filename and extension. Four
formats exist:

  ^bfilename ext^b indicates a file that has been preserved by
     Norton Protection or Windows 95 Recycle Bin. You can
     reliably recover this file.
  ^b?ilename ext^b (with a leading ^b?^b) indicates an unprotected
     file that has been deleted. DOS overwrites the first
     character of the name when it deletes the file, so you
     will be prompted to supply a character to replace the ?.
  ^bDIRNAME^b (in all caps) indicates a directory that is not
     deleted. You can press ^BEnter^B on this line to go into
     that directory, or use ^BAlt^B+^BR^B to bring up a directory tree
     and pick a directory.
  ^b?IRNAME^b (all caps with leading ^b?^b) indicates a deleted
     directory. Recover this directory before attempting to
     recover any deleted files in it.

The ^bSize^b, ^bDate^b and ^bTime^b help to identify the file. Date and
  Time show the file's creation or modification timestamp and
  have nothing to do with when the file was deleted.

The ^bPrognosis^b column provides an educated guess as to the
  likelihood of being able to recover a file. Files protected by
  Norton Protection or Windows95 Recycle Bin always show
  as ^Bexcellent^B. Other files show prognoses ranging from ^Bgood^B
  down to ^Bpoor^B, depending upon several factors (select
  ^b[Info]^b for details). This column says ^BRECOVERED^B on files
  you have already UnErased and it will show ^Bnon-erased^B on
  some files if you have included them via the ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BI^B
  menu command.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
^bMultiple Files and File Groups^b

Press the ^Bspacebar^B (or ^BClick-Right^B) to tag or untag a file.
The file is tagged when it is bracketed by ^b^C10^b and ^b^C11^b.

  ^b^C10^b ?uarter2 wks      6,072  6-10-90   4:51 pm  good    ^b^C11^b

When you select ^b[UnErase]^b (or press ^BU^B), all tagged files are
UnErased, one at a time. Likewise, the ^b[Info]^b and ^b[View]^b
buttons operate on the set of currently tagged files.

You can also tag and untag a group of files that match a
desired wildcard filespec. Use the menu command ^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BG^B or
press ^BGray +^B to input a wildcard and tag all matches. You may
then use ^BSpacebar^B to untag single files, or press ^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BU^B or
^BGray -^B to untag a wildcard group.
Select this menu command to return to the default setting for
the ^hUnErase main screen^h (such as after a Search operation).
When this menu item is checked, only files in the current
directory are listed.

If you can't find a particular file in this mode, try ^BAlt^B+^BA^B
to list erased files in all directories, and try sorting the
files by date or size (^BAlt^B+^BO^B) or try looking for lost
filenames in deleted directories (^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BL^B).
$Select this menu command to display a list of all erased
files in all directories on the current disk in the
^hUnErase main screen^h.

This viewing mode is handy for locating an erased file when
you are not sure what directory it was in. All erased files
are sorted by name, date, or whatever criteria you set in the
^hOptions menu^h.

If a filename still does not appear, perhaps the deleted file
is in a deleted directory. Try UnErasing some deleted
directories and look again. Or better yet, press ^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BL^B to
Search for Lost Names from among the deleted files area of
the disk.

#This dialog lets you specify a different drive for UnErase to
display in the ^hSelect Files^h screen. You can change drives at
any time by pressing ^BAlt^B+^BD^B.

Use ^B^B and ^B^B to highlight the drive ID and then press ^BEnter^B
or just press the letter for the desired drive.

With a mouse, just click on the desired drive.

$Use the directory tree in this dialog to specify a different
directory for UnErase to display. You may change directories
at any time by pressing ^BAlt^B+^BR^B.

Use ^B^B and ^B^B to highlight a directory name (or just type the
first part of any directory name to Speed Search to that part
of the tree) and then press ^BEnter^B.

With a mouse, just click on the desired drive.

^BNote:^B This screen does NOT show deleted directories. But
      if you first unerase a directory, it will later be shown
      here. Also, you can press ^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BL^B to Search the 
      disk for Lost filenames.

See also: ^hWhen the directory has been removed ^h
This menu command is available whenever the selection bar is
highlighting an erased file or directory.

Use this command to tag the highlighted file (or just press
the ^BSpacebar^B). If the item at the selection bar is already
tagged, this command untags it.

With the mouse, ^Bclick-right^B to tag or untag. Use ^Bdrag-right^B
to tag a series of files.

Tagged files are treated as a group when you use the ^b[Info]^b,
^b[View]^b or ^b[UnErase]^b buttons.
This command lets you quickly select a group of files that
match a wildcard filename and extension.

Type a wildcard filename and extension into the input box
and press ^BEnter^B. All files that match the wildcard will be
selected (tagged) for recovery.

You may use: ^b*.*^b     (any filename and any extension)
             ^b*^b       (any filename and no extension)
             ^b*.^bEXE   (any filename with an extension of .EXE)
             AB^b*.*^b   (for example; any file beginning with AB)
             ab^b?^bd^b.*^b  (for example; any file starting with AB,
                     then any character, then D, and any
                     extension)
After selecting a group of files (via ^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BG^B or ^BGray +^B or
by tagging with the ^BSpacebar^B or mouse), you can quickly
unselect all or some of them with this command.

Type a wildcard filename and extension into the input box
and press ^BEnter^B. All files that match the wildcard will be
unselected (untagged).
This menu command (^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BN^B) is available when the selection
bar is highlighting a ^Bnon-erased^B or ^BRECOVERED^B file or
directory. To display non-erased files, press ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BI^B.

Use this to change the name of an existing file so that you
can unerase another file, giving it that name.

Type the desired new name (filename.ext) and press ^BEnter^B or
press ^BEsc^B to cancel.
This menu command (^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BT^B) is available when the selection
bar is highlighting an erased file. You can recover the
file and store the result on a different drive and give it
any desired filename.

First, the ^bUnErase To^b dialog prompts for the target drive.
The current drive is omitted from the list. Use ^B^B and ^B^B and
press ^BEnter^B (or just press the letter of the drive).

Next, you are prompted to input the new name. Type your
changes if you're not happy with the default. Press ^BEnter^B
to accept the name and proceed with the recovery.
This menu command lets you use a recovered or pre-existing
file as a starting place for a manual unerase sequence. You
can use the ^bManual UnErase^b dialog to attach more data to
the file, or even to remove parts of the file.

Select this menu command to manually unerase the highlighted
file at the selection bar. You go to the ^bManual UnErase^b dialog.

^BNote:^B to unerase to a new filename, pick ^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BT^B
      instead.

^bAbout Manual Recovery^b
You should try this procedure only if a standard recovery
operation yields a file having incorrect contents. Also, this
is considered an expert-level procedure and is not recommended
for inexperienced users.

You may also reorganize the list by moving clusters around.
Press ^BSpacebar^B to ^b^C10^btag^b^C11^b a cluster, use the arrows to move it,
then press ^BSpacebar^B again to fix it in the new position.
Also, the ^b[Add cluster...]^b button actually ^Binserts^B clusters
directly after the cluster number shown in bold.

The ^b[view Map...]^b button shows a disk map that illustrates
the relative positions of the clusters you have chosen. It
may help you visualize the file's physical layout.

Use ^b[Save]^b to save your work. Exit from UnErase and try your
recovered file using its intended application.
This menu command lets you input a filename to be used as
a gathering place for data recovered in a manual unerase
sequence.

After typing the name, press ^BEnter^B to go immediately to
the ^bManual UnErase^b dialog.

This command lets you quit the UnErase program. Alternatively,
just press Esc.
This menu command begins an exhaustive search of the disk's
erased data area. It recognizes certain data types and
can often piece together remnants of files, even when their
directory information has long been overwritten.

Use ^B^B and ^B^B to move among the check boxes. Press ^BSpacebar^B 
to check the data types you wish to find or to uncheck the boxes
you wish to exclude from the search. Press ^BEnter^B to begin the
search.

While searching, the screen displays a list of ^bData Fragments^b
having names like ^Bfile0001^B in the selection window. (If a
more likely name for the file can be determined, that is
displayed instead.) At any time, you can press ^BEsc^B to stop
searching, then select a data fragment and select ^b[View]^b to
examine it. If it looks like it contains data worth recovering,
select ^b[UnErase]^b.

^BNote:^B If a 1-2-3 or dBASE file is not recovered intact, you
      may need to repair it with a tool like ^BFile Fix^B from the
      Norton Utilities.

Use ^BAlt^B+^BC^B to change the window back to the standard UnErase
file list.
This menu command lets you search the erased area of the disk
for a particular string of characters.

^BNote:^B You may wish to use ^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BR^B first, to Set the
      Search Range.

Type the desired text. Press ^B^B to get to the ^bIgnore Case^b
check box. Press ^BSpacebar^B to toggle this on or off. When this
is checked, then text such as ^Baugust^B will match with ^BAugust^B and
^BAUGUST^B.

Press ^BEnter^B to begin searching. While searching, the screen
will display a list of file fragments having names like
^Bfile0001^B. (If a more-likely name for the file can be
determined, that is displayed instead.) At any time, you can
press ^BEsc^B to stop searching, then select a data fragment and
select ^b[View]^b to examine it. If it looks like it contains
data worth recovering, select ^b[UnErase]^b.

Use ^BAlt^B+^BC^B to change the window back to the standard UnErase
file list.
Use this menu command if you can't seem to locate even the
filename of the file you wish to recover. This happens when
the original directory has been deleted.

Search for Lost Names looks through the entire disk for erased
data in the easily-recognizable format of a directory, and
presents all its findings in the central window.

While searching, if you see the name you want, you can press
^BEsc^B to stop searching, move the selection bar to the file,
then press ^BU^B to select ^b[UnErase]^b and recover the file.

Use ^BAlt^B+^BC^B to change the window back to the standard UnErase
file list.
You may wish to use this menu command before performing a text
or other search. It lets you limit the search to a specified
portion of the disk.

^BNote:^B In any case, all searching takes place only in
      the erased (unallocated) portions of the disk.

By default, the range is set to cover the entire disk. To
change this, type different numbers into the text-input boxes.
Use ^BTab^B or ^B^B to move between fields. Press ^BEnter^B to save the
settings for subsequent searches, or press ^BEsc^B to cancel.
While searching, if you see a name you want, you can press ^BEsc^B
to stop searching. You can immediately UnErase the file or tag
it as part of a group.

This command will then continue the search from the point at
which it was interrupted.
The commands on the Options menu let you sort the filenames
in the main UnErase window. You may choose any one of the sort
orders from the menu. The item with a checkmark is currently
active. Use the accelerator keys:

  ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BN^B  sort by fileName (default)
  ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BE^B  sort by file Extension
  ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BT^B  sort by date and Time file was created or modified
  ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BS^B  sort by file Size
  ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BD^B  sort by Directories
  ^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BP^B  sort by recovery Prognosis

The ^bInclude non-erased files^b command (^BAlt^B+^BO^B,^BI^B) toggles the
option to list non-erased files among the erased items. When
checked, these files are listed.
When a file gets erased, DOS overwrites the first letter with
a special character (it's a sigma, in case you're curious).
UnErase has no idea what this lost character might be.

Therefore, there are several places that you are prompted
to provide a letter to use as the start of a filename you are
about to unerase. ^BThis need not be the original first letter^B.

The ^bUnavailable letters^b list shows the letters you must not
use. If the one you really want is listed, it means that
filename is in use by a non-erased file (and you can't have
two files in the same directory with the same name). Pick any
other alphanumeric character; you may use the ^BAlt^B+^BF^B,^BN^B command
(^bRename^b, under the ^bFile^b menu) to give the file a different
name later on.
This gives you four ways to add data during a manual recovery.
Use ^B^B and ^B^B to select an option and press ^BEnter^B.

^bAll clusters^b makes an educated guess as to where the file's
  data resides (typically in sequential "holes" seen in the
  Disk Map). It adds enough clusters to the cluster list to
  fill out the rest of the file. If used right at the start of
  Manual Recovery, this is the same as the automatic unerase
  technique. ^BThis is a GOOD FIRST CHOICE.^B  Back at the
  Manual UnErase screen, use the ^b[view File]^b button to see
  what you got. Delete clusters from the list which should
  not be part of the file and continue looking for data.

^bNext probable^b adds a single cluster to the list; the first
  sequential cluster in an unused allocation "hole."

^bData search^b lets you search for text in the unused file space
  on the disk. This is exceptionally useful. For instance,
  if the text at the end of your final cluster says "^Bin the^B
  ^Bmonth of Au^B", then there's a fine chance that the first 
  part of the rest of the file begins with "^Bgust^B".

^bCluster number^b lets you input a single cluster number or a
  range of clusters. If the range contains non-erased data,
  then you can have UnErase adjust it. Clusters in the range
  are added to the cluster list. This is useful after 
  ^BAlt^B+^BS^B,^BD^B has turned up a bunch of clusters that contain 
  a specific type of data.
	#UnErase automatically searches for and recovers erased or
deleted files. It can find and recover deleted files that have
been protected by Norton Protection or by Windows95 Recycle
Bin. 

^BNote:^B Use UnErase Wizard (from Windows) to
      recover files on Novell networks.
      UnErase can recover files deleted from network drives
      only if ^hNorton Protection^h has been installed 
      for that drive. 

When DOS deletes a file, it doesn't wipe out the data. It
simply makes a special mark in the directory and then frees up
the file's disk space, making that space available for use by
other files.

UnErase can figure out most of a deleted file's filename and
it knows where the file formerly started and how big it was.
From this alone, it can often recover the file immediately.
In some cases, that's not enough information to go on, so
UnErase provides a "manual" method which lets you search for
parts of the file and put it back together again, piece by
piece.
SmartCan, a TSR (memory-resident program) available with
Norton Utilities 8.0, has been replaced by Norton Protection.

When activated, Norton Protection intercepts all commands 
which would ordinarily delete a file and, instead, moves
the file into a hidden directory named \RECYCLED\NPROTECT.

Old files are purged automatically from Norton Protection when it
becomes full. You can specify the minimum number of kilobytes to
be kept free on each disk and how long to keep old files. This 
strategy of "delayed deletion" is an excellent safeguard against 
accidentally deleting a file.

UnErase can reclaim Nprotect protected files with 100-percent
reliability.
