Re: Huge problem with the ePSXe uninstall

Could you try using Norton Disk tools to undelete the files. I think that when you delete a file, it doesn't really get deleted, it has the first character of it's filename (in the FAT) set to a '~' character. So if you use DiskEdit you should be able to find a reference to your file (in the FAT) and change the first character back to what it should be. You might also be able to use the Undelete command on DOS 6.2 if you have a DOS 6.2 bootdisk (this basically does the same thing, it will ask you what to change the '~' into). This may be ok for your saves but I doubt you can get your ISO's back this way, it is likely that the space they took up has probably been marked as free space (that's what the '~' indicates), and any disk accesses may have used this space. Good luck.
