Re: How can I recover a (large) file that I have started to COPY over (rather than delete) ?

There's nothing you can do. You've already overwritten the original file
with the new information. The only way to reverse your action is to
restore the file from backup. If you didn't have a backup, you're out of
luck.

B*gger. So are you really saying the WindowsXP overwritest the exact
same
part of the disk when it copies one file over another file?

I know for a fact that some of the bytes wont yet have been over
written yet,
because the original .PST file was so large (c.500MB) and I only over-
wrote it for it for
about half a second.

So, is there NO utility other than the WindowsXP "Recycle Bin" to help
us recover
deleted files?
