You could try restore the to a drive which is only used by you and nobody
else,
and recover the deleted file afterwards.

There are (simple) tools for that on both wintel and*nix plattforms.
Either your sysadmin or Google could help even more.

I used (on NT2000)
Restorer 2000 PRO for similar dubiosities
with fair success.
