ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yes, I have just done the same - overwritten a small text file that I still needed (the old version). Recuva cannot find it - it was probably overwritten in-place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thought i knew how Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Your file is probably gone. I personally use GetDataBack, but if Recuva didn't work, this probably wont either.For the future, install Vista. It has a feature that keeps shadow copies of all over written files. 99% of the time, it just eats up harddrive space, but every so often, like in your case, your glad its there.
