Can someone recommend a suitable alternative to Norton Utils that
specifically has an UnErase util?

Thanks

Fix-It Utilities has an undelete function:

As an aside, I use Executive Software Undelete with WinXP Pro and swear
by it:

I am never of favor of software suites like this. If you want an undelete
utility, I think you should simply look for the best undelete utility. If
you want other utilities, look for the best in each category.

If you want an undelete utility recommendation, I like this freeware one:

I'm actually looking for a complete Systemworks alternative, at least something that can do the work of Windoctor, Speedisk and Ghost for me. I used to love Systemworks but they kept cranking up the price every year, so I was buying them ( legally! ) on Ebay to save money. But then last year they appear to have reached out and disabled my working installation after I told them that I bought it on Ebay in the registration! When I contacted them about it, they claimed that all their software sold on Ebay is pirated! That was the last straw with them!

I'm looking for good alternatives that can do as good or better, for LESS MONEY!

I use XP Home Edition.

I use:

Ghost > Acronis True Image
Speeddisk > Perfect Disk

True Image proven to be much better than Ghost.
Just my $0.02
