i cannot believe it! how stupid can i be?

i was working on a web project with the very idiot and broken (on macs) dreamweaver mx, and stupidly renamed a new empty file with the name of an existing one. Now the hard work contained on that one is gone, overwriten with nothing!

i dont care for the html, css, etc, but for the contents. That's around 2 pages of very creative text that took me 40 hours to write. There's no way i can write that again.

I've tried to recover the files, bu no success at all.
I had no utilities for that. Have downloaded Data Rescue X and data recicler X demos. Data rescue only "recovers" what is already on your HD ?? , and data recicler only looks for some deleted files on your trash.


WAHT CAN I DO? is norton better? I only need to recover 1 file. Do i have to pay for Norton? any other app?

Is there any hope, when i didn't delete the file, but it was overwritten by RENAMING another?

PLEASE HELP!
TIA.

Try the applications forum, you'll actually get a real response there.

If you can remember some text from the overwritten file, you can try to do a text search using Data Rescue X.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, though. Next time, lock your important files.
