Recovering Documents.

Ben the Tiger · Post by **Ben the Tiger** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 11:44 am

I put my History coursework onto my memory stick and then put it on my laptop and then transfered it into my documents. It then came up with a message saying that I had already got it in there and did I want to replace it. I clicked on yes wihtout realizing that I had already got more done on my laptop.

Does anyone have any ideas how on earth I could get this back?

I take it you saved the changes?

Yes it was saved on my memory stick but then I replaced it by mistake.

Sorry Ben, I think you'll have to cut and paste it from the internet again.

if you saved the wrong one to the memory stick by mistake, it'll almost certainly have over-written your previous version and you will have lost that one. Sorry.

I have had a similar problem with moving some holiday snaps from the memory stick to the PC. I somehow lost them on the PC and was in despair.

However, a friend told me to buy a package called Recover by PC Tools and it would recover deleted files from the memory stick, so long as I had not reformatted the Mem Stick.

Bought the package online and have managed to recover 95% of the holiday pics.

You can download the free software to see if the files can be found but you can only recover them by buying the package.

May be a bit late for Ben, but it may be worth knowing for others who are or have been in this situation.

I know how you feel, Ben. It's happened to me several times with coursework! Stick at it.

I'm sorry for you, Ben.

I was almost in the same situation with mine, too. GCSE Geography coursework was a nightmare. There was loads of documents all over the place and I thought I was lucky to manage to keep it all together... Terrible memories

Did you save it directly to the memory stick? If not i would bet my house it will still me in the origional location.
