From: audaxrex on 7 Nov 2009 19:11 I have done a dismal, dreadful thing with my new Acer netbook I used a pair of USB keys to move 2Gb writing photos music etc. into its 160Gb hard drive. One of the keys I used properly the other I did not properly shut off before removing. AND I had some recent writing I was doing as I went. Sooo I wanted to move the writing back to my old pc and I decided to clear the USB key of files. I sent them to the recycle bin of the laptop. Then I believe I may have removed the USB key before it was done unloading. Then ALL the 2Gb of documents in my documents disappeared utterly. Otherwise the computer is fine, works fine etc. A search cant find them. So I plugged the USB key back in, and tried restoring the files from out of the recycle bin. They went to the computers my documents instead. A great many if not all the files bounced around from the USB had duplicates in the computers my documents so the problem may have begun there. Losing most of them is no problem they still exist on the old pc. My question one: is it possible to recover the WORD files I wrote today? And two: this netbook has some program like SafeConfig says it will restore the system to an earlier snapshot. Might it be useful? (I havent found it yet but it may be the Acer restore thing) and what happened?

I've reloaded the files I lost, rewritten the totally lost stuff, and life goes on. I won't do THAT again, you may be certain - dax |
