    Hi


    What file did you delete, was it as system file or a personal file? as hijackthis log wont help with recovering files, its more a browser hijacker/malware scan.

    Does your PC boot ok to windows and its just this Undelete Plus thats showing this message?

    What you could try is Recuva and try and see if it recovers this file, but you will need to have a seperate Hard Drive or USB pen or CDRW/DVDRW to direct the recovered files to as recovering to the host drive is likely to overwrite the files your wanting to recover.

    Also the more you have used this drive to save data to the less likely you are to recover files.
