Hi
My roommate did not save his work(several hours of it) and then the
computer
crashed. When he restarted it, the file went back to how it was before
he
did all the work. Is there any way the data can be recovered?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Though it may be a bit late now, if the computer has lots of memory
then he could have run 'strings' on the memory and recovered at least
portions of the text. Booting into a lower runlevel (after the crash)
will of course demand less system memory, which means that more of the
file may still be in memory.
For the next time, try the Auto Recovery save option.

Check Save AutoRecovery, and then set the time to
10 minutes or less. I have mine set for 5 minutes.
Also, you may want to check the "create a backup" as well.
I do not know how many times I needed a recovery option
for my document editing. Loosing 10 minutes can be bad, but
it is better than loosing 2 hours.
Also I was taught to save the document either every 10-20 minutes
or after every page typed. That is taught in "keyboarding" classes
in College. They want you to be able to type correctly so you
can be required to type 20-30 double spaced reports every 2-3 weeks
for most of the classes I took a few years ago.
