Lost data

[usuallyconfused]

Please, please tell me I'm not completely sunk!

I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed and MOVED the directory back again.

However, in the process, most of the files have disappeared! What I don't understand is why the original files were deleted if they were not copied over.

As far as I can see, the files have gone for good. Is there any hope? No cost would be too great!

Hi,

You may try to install Drive Resue on the original pc and recover the lost files, or you can try Final Data as well, these two software works well for finding lost fils.

Best wishes!

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been on holiday for a week but have spent 3 days solid with about 10 different programs. I have recovered bits and pieces, but I will keep trying!
