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

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????

"System" restore --> Protects "System" data - of which your files are *not*.

Please be very specific in describing what you did.
You say you moved about 100 documents to a disc...

- What type of disc and *how* did you "move" them?
Do you mean a floppy diskette? USB thumb drive? ZIP disk? CD? DVD?
External Hard Disk? Network share?

- When you say 'move' - do you mean 'select, right-click, cut and then in
the new location, right-click, paste'? Do you mean 'select, right-click and
hold button to drag to destination, release button and choose move'? Or
something else entirely?
