Help needed!

[Slade2]

Ok its seems I have inadvertantly deleted a number of directories from my external hard drive that I need of course. We are talking 320 gig of a 1TB drive and I could do with that stuff back. Does anyone have any free ways of undeleting the files? I am using windows 7. I have tried a some data recovery programs but they all want me to pay for the pro version!.

Recuva or Testdisk. Both free.

Ok, so I managed to get 487 files or so back from recuva but it has renamed them all from 1 to 487. Is there any program out there I can use to look at the files and rename them according to what they were before? or is something I will have to do manually? so annoying if the later
