I saved the file just a minute later, and when I next looked at the file, half of it was gone. Using a sector editor, I found where most of the deleted part is. What I need to know is how I can create a file out of the lost sectors to recover the file. Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks -Dan Schikore schikore@mentor.cc.purdue.edu
