Ok to make a long story short.
I am using 2 hard drives.
I deleted a word document from my main hard drive on the weekend by mistake. I thought I had it backed up to the backup hard drive but I did not.
After deleting the file, I went to format the main hard drive (NTFS quick as it was NTFS before) and reinstalled Widows XP since I had a lot of junk on my computer.
After format, went to look for the file on my backup hard drive but of course wasnt there since i never backed it up.
After googling for awhile I found a file recovery software and amazingly was to restore it.
But it seems it either lost its formatting or it converted it to a different code.
The file size is 35kb which is about right for its size, so I know there is still information left.
I am hoping to see if someone out here can help me.
It should be about 5 pages of typed english of a report I was writing.
Again, any help is really appreciated.
Sincerely,
Roeland.
PS: Appearantly I cannot upload a word document to this server.
I created a hotmail account where I uploaded the word document to.
Use:
worddocument00@hotmail.com
Password: msoffice
PPS: I am not sure where to post this message. I thought application and operating system was the best.
