| 141161 | 2003-05-03 23:03:00 | My logic tells me that a file is still there waiting to be overwritten (as happens if you had deleted the file) but it would soon be overwritten if you continue to use the computer. I take it that you are wanting to recover a file after a cut and paste went wrong? We had a thread yesterday on recovering files and a link to a file recovery program was mentioned. Not sure what thread it was in now but you could try looking for it. |
