I made a terrible mistake and need help
 

Does anyone know how to help me. I erased all of my data and intended to
save my work as a new file but clicked the save function instead and now I
have no data.
lost all of my data. Is there anyway to recover the old file??

Please help

Afraid it's gone. Your only hope is if you have a backup.

Or if you have Norton Utilities, which has saved my bacon a couple of times.

Hi Vasant,

How does that recover a file that has been over-written?

Hi Bob:

Amazingly, it actually saves the last few versions of overwritten files in
the Norton Protected Recycle Bin.

I run Norton System Works 4.0 on my Win98SE C: partition and the Unerase works
as it should. Can find several back-versions to select from and recover. A
great tool and saved my butt a few times.

I run Norton Utilities 2002 only on my WinXPPro E: partition and the Unerase
will only create *.lnk files, which do not produce usable back-versions of the
files.

Ergo.....the Unerase in NU is useless for recovery under my current settings.

Any pointers? Something I'm missing?

Hi Gord:

I'm using Norton SystemWorks 5.0, which apparently includes Norton Utilities
6.0. I'm using this on Win2K Pro, with no partitioned disks. Maybe there's a
difference? There are so many versions of these utilities that I can't keep
track. AFAIK I installed the program 3 years ago with the recommended
default settings.

Regards,

Vasant

OK Vasant.

That explains it.

Unerase works fine if installed through System Works, but the standalone
Utilities 2002 has a "sort of" documented problem with WinXP and the Unerase.

SW 4.0 doesn't like WinXP so can't install on that partition.

If really need to recover an overwritten file, I can re-boot to Win98SE
partition and recover from there because I use C: mainly for data storage,
including my Excel files.

Thanks Vasant, sounds good. May invest in that as my backup regime leaves
much to be desired <bg

Thanks
