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? Bob "Vasant Nanavati" <vasantn *AT* aol *DOT* com wrote in message ...

Hi Bob:
Amazingly, it actually saves the last few versions of overwritten files in the Norton Protected Recycle Bin. Regards, Vasant "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

Vasant
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.

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
