I guess the original question was vague enough that we can't help much more... If you erased the file and believe it is still on disk, and you did not touch anything on the disk yet, then flipping the directory may be all you need to do. But when things happened already, you're looking at reading all blocks from disk and then arrange them in the right order to construct relevant parts of the original file you lost. That's been done, but it is not something for the novice plumber. And this may not be the time where you want to build those skills. Maybe you should describe your problem a bit more detailed so we can find a shortcut. Rob
