I saw a couple of free file recovery programs listed here so I wasn't going to post the one I have used, but i tested out the ones here. One crashed each time I tried to open it after installing it and the other one only wanted to scan my drive for bitmap image files, so I'll recommend Pandora Recovery. It's Freeware.
Pandora File Recovery - Find and recover deleted files of any type - free.

great linx man. Include this one:

VLC media player - Overview

Its a great media player, for playing those hard to play video formats like .flv
and pretty much all the other annoying 'unknwn' file formats.

Yes. VMware has a quite a few more capabilities. The Microsoft Virtual PC is very simple, basic, and easy to use.
