I would mount the drive in another PC, and recover the files from the recycle bin that way.

I use a hot swap bay just for such emergencies.

Keep in mind, that the deletion may have been too large for the recycle bin to hold.

You may need touse a file recovery utility to restore the files.

If you can at least recover the primary system files
User.dat
system.dat
win.ini
system.ini

You should be able to maintain most of there settings when you re-install Windows.

You will still need to go back, and re-install most drivers and applications, as they will need dll files that will no longer be there.

The answer I left before was programs that will restore files in dos, at least half will fit on a floppy disk, so yes, using one of those files you can restore the files in DOS, undelete will not work as all of the filenames are sotred in a vfat file, the vfat file contains all of the long filename information, restoring using an 8.3 restorer will make the restoration process VERY arduous, hope this helps.
