i accidentally deleted a file that i'd like to get back if possible. i'm trying the wondershare data recovery from my laptop with my nexus 7 connected but the laptop isn't seeing my nexus as a drive. what other settings need to be changed? i've got the mtp stetting turned on on my nexus from what i can tell.

Try Recuva. Works very well.

I haven't had an N7 for a while. Try going to developer options and checking USB Debugging and see if your laptop will recognize it.

Ok, I think the problem is going to be assigning a drive letter to an MTP device. There isn't an easy way that I know of. There is supposedly some apps that say they will do it but you have to be rooted. I haven't tried any of them.

ok thanx anyway. i don't think my little file is worth all that trouble. i'll just make another one lol. i've since installed the dumpster program to make it easier to avoid accidental deletions in the future.
