Re: I have lost several documents and need to recover them!

More details please. What exactly did you do (what disc--another hard
drive, another partition, a CD, etc.) and how did you do it? When you did
the search, did you ensure that the search options were selected to ensure
all files were checked?

A system restore has to do with system files which these obviously were not.

I was attempting to move around 100 documents to a disc to put them on my
new
computer. Somehow I lost most of them, they are not on the disc, my
documents
and my recycle bin is empty. I have done a search for them and come up
with
nothing. If I didn't delete them they have to be here somewhere right? I
did
a system restore to a date before I did this but that didn't help! Any
suggestions????
