Re: Retriving a file that has been saved over/overridded with a blank

I don't know the program, but it sounds pretty similar to the 'Shadow
Copies' feature already built in into Vista. (right click file, select
properties and choose the 'previous versions' tab).

Following up on this issue, there is a new piece of software around called
Undelete 2009 Professional from the writers of the Diskeeper defragmentation
software. This replaces the Windows recycle bin and stores each version of
saved files so while there is disc space available you can recover old
versions of documents. It is very handy if you are reckless about your file
handling, but sadly does not work retrospectively.http://www.diskeeper.com/products/products.asp

You *may* be able to use file recovery software downloaded using
another PC and run from floppy disc or CD, but I wouldn't count on it.
There are specialist companies that can recover data, but the cost
implications may be frightening.
The more you use the PC in the interim, the less chance you will have
of recovering any of the data.

My sister opened Word 2003, so that a blank document was opened ie
Document
1. She wanted to Open another document called Geography coursework,
but instead of clicking the Open icon, she clicked Save. She then
selected the file name Geography coursework and clicked OK.

This then override the Geography coursework document with a blank
document and we don't know how to get the original back; the version
before she saved over it with a blank copy.

I have tried going to File, Versions to find previous versions, but
there are done listed.

Please Help

Thank you
