Hi,
I accidentally saved over an RB project with another RB project on
Windows XP and have lost about 16 hours worth of work in the
process. Is
there any way to recover the old file or was it completely
destroyed in
the process of being saved over.
It may be recoverable if you haven't saved anything else since then.
Most OSes simply write a new file and then free the blocks to be
written over later.
The problem you might encounter is, if you don't already have a file
recovery program already installed, you might wipe out the file by
installing it. Norton's Utilities and others allow booting and
running from the install CD or DVD and then restoring your file. Even
running your email program could have already destroyed the file
however.
