gone. This is the 'probably practical' answer. The reference to the location of the file on the hard disk will have been overwritten. The chances are that the actual data would have been written to a different part of the disk and, as long as it has not been physically overwritten, it may be recoverable (in whole or in part). Now for the 'theoretically possible' - at a price - solution. The first option is to get data recovery software. Something like "GetDataBack" www.runtime.org This costs between $69 and $79 (according to the version required). It will have to be installed on and run from another hard disk so as to not overwrite recoverable data. The second option is to go to someone who specialises in data recovery. This could be expensive. Regards. Bill Ridgeway Computer Solutions "Alan" wrote in message ... Unless you're on a network with backup, no I'm afraid, its gone, Alan. "Chris" wrote in message ...
