Restore it from the last back-up you made,
OR
Contract with a data recovery firm which can be found on Google.

When a file is deleted it isn't physically deleted and when file is saved it
isn't necessarily over the original. Let me explain. The computer keeps a
record of all the files on the hard disk. Think of it as an index. If you
were to cross out a line in the index of a book the word or phrase will
still be extant in the body of the book. (The difference with a computer is
that the area of the 'lost' file is available for re-use). It is,
therefore, possible to recover 'lost' files. As you will appreciate success
depends on whether or not the area on the hard drive has been re-used.

There are a number of software that will do the job. I have used and,
therefore, can recommend 'Get data back'
www.runtime.org. Restoration
www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html is a freebee (which I have not used).

It is highly recommended that the software is installed on and run from
another hard disk (to decrease the possibility of overwriting the 'lost'
file).

All this assumes that, at least, the hard disk will spin. It is possible to
recover data from a hard disk that doesn't spin. This is, however, a
specialist (forensic) operation and will be charged accordingly. It
wouldn't do any harm to find someone local who could do this for you and
assess and possibly justify the charge against the cost (time, patience and
money) of re-entering the 'lost' data. Some work on the amount of data
recovered so if you're looking only for one file the charge may not amount
to much (comparatively speaking),

You should, perhaps, also think of getting a backing up system. You may
like to have a look at my web site www.1001solutions.co.uk for more
information.
