Default Accidentally saved over important data

U. R. Screwed (unless you want to pay some computer forensics person a few
grand on the off-chance that they could recover it). Tip: If you don't ever
want to overwrite this file, mark it as read-only in the Windows property.
Or go to the Excel VBA newsgroup and ask if someone can help you ENSURE that
you don't overwrite it.

...
I was working in a spreadsheet I've been updating for months. I deleted a
bunch of data, then accidentally saved the spreadsheet (without changing
the
name). It's the same ol' spreadsheet without a bunch of data.

I need to get the data back.

Can I somehow retrieve a copy of the spreadsheet with the data still on it
from the hard drive?

Thanks for your response.
