How do i recover a database lost during compacting?

You could try looking for a file named db1 or some such thing in the same
folder. However, the best way (the only reliable way, really) is to back up
before compacting.

Also *IMMIEDIATELY* download, preferably on another computer and,
preferably run from a USB key, the utility called Restoration.
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html

It might be able to retrieve the file for you.
