I need your help in finding an application that can recover files from a fat32 filesystem. The type of files to recover are media files such as music and videos. The only requirement that I need of this type of application is that it MUST BE TOTALLY FREE
and WITHOUT any LIMITATIONS.

Thanks in advance

Is the hard disk dead or has it just been overwritten?

And I don't know anything which is free that is without limitations.

Is this a computer or on a file share? If it just a stand alone computer there is alot of free edit programs that will alow you to look at the files that have had the first letter changed on a file so it looks like it is gone. But the more you use the computer it will be harder to recover the file, because it can be over writen by another progam or file. Ghost the drive and try recovery on that image. I have done the same thing and used a win98 computer to recover what I needed and then imported the files back to the new computer.
