It may be possible. When files are deleted, what happens is that the
sector(s) used on the HDD is marked as free and the file descriptor is
removed from the FAT. In reality, the data is still on the disk UNLESS the

If you haven't done much work since the (presumably accidental) deletion and
the data is still in free areas of disk, you can use utilities - such as
UNDELETEhttp://www.winundelete.com/?rid=google&kid=wu0401- to restore the
deleted data. I believe you can download a trial of Undelete and it will
search your drive for all the deleted files that are still available. I
don't think you can actually undelete the files without purchasing the
retail version of Undelete, but at least you can see if they are still
available before parting with your cash.

These are important assignments.

Have you checked the Recycle Bin?

And if this is really very important, you should immediately stop
using that particular computer/hard disk.
