Long story short, I somehow managed to delete the partition on my usb drive. Now I'm looking for a way to recover the files that are still lurking on it somewhere. i need someone to please recommend a program that will help me with this.

I know that the files are still on there somewhere. I did a search for "recovery" in this forum and I saw a few programs recommended to try. While I was able to download a demo that told me there were 700 files on the drive, I am reluctant to buy a program without it at least showing me file names or something more concrete on the files it can see.

Thanks for any help you can give me. I would really appreciate anything that will help me get over a single moment of unutterable stupidity on my part.

Try GetDataBack for FAT or for NTFS, whichever one you formatted your USB drive as. Should work, it has saved me before.

Or, R-Studio seems like it should do the same thing. I only have the demo of that to play with, so cant say I've used it.
 
Well, the R-Studio demo does an excellent job of finding the pretty much every file i need. Unfortunately, most of them are over the size limit for the demo and as a student I can't afford the $80 license fee. I've tried about 5 or 6 other programs, all without success. Seems like I need to find a way to get a copy of R-Studio. Maybe if I beg them... :p
