I do not know what happened

[Guest]

Ok, First I do not know if this is the right place to put this question. But
I am going to anyway.



I was Working on a project on my laptop, when suddenly my whole screen
went green (this has happened before, I just reboot and everything is usually
alright) so I rebooted. When I reboot usually what I was working on is
automatically saved. But When I logged back in I could not find my document
anywhere not even what has been saved the day before. Its like the whole file
dissapeared. It then came up in a box saying that the file was "Turnicated"?
( I do not exactly recall what it said as I haven't been able to get the
warning back)

I have tried looking through the computer file by file where it might be,
I looked in my recycle bin and even restored everything incase it was hidden,
I tried system restore, General searches. But I cannot find it anywhere I
look. Its A corel word perfect document file. And I know That even if I
delete anything off this computer there is usually still fragments somewhere.
So does that mean if the computer decided to get rid of it it left fragments?

Please help me if you can.



Confused and frustrated

Rebooting doesn't cause files to be save. They need to be saved
(manually or automatically) *before* the crash.

might be, I looked in my recycle bin and even restored everything
incase it was hidden, I tried system restore, General searches. But I

Did you search for recently created *.tmp files?

maybe, if you were
lucky, wordperfect
made backups in the
background.

you need to check it
out via help or online
to see how to restore
the file you were working
on, that is if the option
was provided and enabled.

on the otherhand, if you
were using msoffice, your
crashed document would
have been likely recoverable.

recovering documents is
dependant on how software
like the above is designed and
programmed to make copies
in the background, in case of
an emergency like you incurred.

The file was truncated, or cut short. I would look in the working
folder for a file starting with !! or ??.. something to place it at the
beginning of the list. There might also be an option under "File" to
load a previous copy after a crash; some programs offer this option at
the next restart.

Also try this: Download and run Restoration or another Undelete program.
The more you use the hd with the deleted files, the more data you
overwrite, so you should download the program to a flash drive, or floppy.
