Pen Drive Data Recovery

    Hey guys.
    Ok here's my problem. I accidentially left my pen drive in a college computer overnight as I went off there yesterday without it. I came in this morning at about 10:15 and went into the room I was in and the Pen Drive was still in the front usb port. Excellent I thought... untill I opened up the drive that is. All of my stuff.. gone... deleted. All my half finished assignments for college gone. Some eejit had seen my Pen Drive there, thought ohh that's someone else's I better not touch it... and put his own Pen Drive in the back.

    He then proceeded to wipe the stuff off my disk to put his own stuff there (cus he thought it was his drive). Grrrr the stupidity of some people. This all hapened 15 minutes before I got to the computer, nightmare!

    Anyways I've been trying to scout some freeware/open source data recovery tools for the drive but to no avail. I found a few programs to download but they end up being trials that I have to bloody register or buy to use. I'm not buying a full program just to recover a few college files. Anyways one program that I did analyse it with, called Handy Recovery, managed to find all of the deleted files and folders, and the probablily of recoverying everything is good (the guy only used 30 megs of the 256meg drive, which was practically full).

    So my hopes are high, and yes I know I should have backed up all my college work at home too. Stupid me. Anyways as I was saying, anyone know where to get freeware/open source data recovery tools? The filling system (if relevent) on the drive is Fat32.

    Cheers.
