The file system I believe is 32 bit, as if I boot from an MSDOS 6.22 floppy, I cannot access the c: drive. Is there an undelete program for a fat32 file system, or, a) is there a disk editor out there, like in the dos days when I could access the disk directly, and b) in a fat32 file system, are files deleted in the same way, that is, by changing the first letter of the file name to an E5 which tells the OS that its sectors are available for writing? obviously, tia!
