Thank you all for your kind help, because I have 2 drives, one that runs Windows ME and the other for XP, i used this Active Data Recovery Software to copy the file onto the ME drive. lots of work though renaming the files back from FAT32 format to NTFS. Disappointed with AVG though going back to Norton.
