Can any FreePinters help?

I've just discovered that I've managed to delete a 77 page document from my USB pen drive, 3 days before I'm due to present it.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to retreive data marked as 'deleted' from a USB pen drive? Is this possible without purchasing any software?

Thanks

Jo
