Something very strange happened 2/3 days ago. Two of my D files

And no, I have no backup of these files. I had a old copy of it
on a external hard drive but I needed to format it to use in
something else and didn't put my files before it...
Instead of turn off my windows machine I always hirbenate it
and left open all stuff and then I just back quickly to point
where I was on. That day, when I logged on system I noticied
first non-usual behavior: the machine looked like I had
restarted it instead of hibernate. All stuff I left open
(including mono) wasn't open anymore. I find it strage but
moved on. But to my surprise when I open mono, the "recent
projects" always available on left menu bar was empty. Just
like I had installed mono not used yet. I open my project
directly by clicking on "open" and navigating to folder of
projec and then I see the two of main project files with a
values set to zero.
Can some Mono expected help me?
My question is: can I recovery these files? or what remains to
me is cry?
restore the system didn't helped (and I neither expected to but
I tried)
Not sure if it is related: that day my machine had no a network
connection.
You have probably already lost the data, but it is possible that
a different copy of the file is located on the drive. If you've
restored a backup you are probably screwed.
Sometimes programs will store files in a temp directory or when
they save the file it won't overwrite the old one, but delete it
and make a new one.
These can be recovered in many cases as long as the data hasn't
be overwritten by other files. They may not exist on the file
system but in the free space, you have to use an undelete program
that does a low level scan of the file system for deleted files.
