Hi Erik!
I had the same problem with my importand files on my hard disk.
First I advise You to not run programs which write a data to disk on
where You lost Your work, because they can write something on Your files
(like M$ Shit 95 and its swap). The fastest way to recover Your work is
to run Quick Unerase (qu.exe) form Norton Utilities or undelete.exe from
M$-DOS. Another way is to use good disk utility like Norton Disk Editor
and find Your source codes in physical sectors on Your hard drive. Then
You have to split windows, open another file (it can be any thing) and
copy Your source codes to this file. You'll loose what's in this file but
You'll recover Your code. Another (better) solution is to use my program
which I have written to get data from physical sector to a file. It's
very primitive. First You have to find Your data with a disk utility
(like DiskEdit) using display of physical sectors and then write down
starting position of Your lost file (head, sector, etc.) then run Rhide
(or other IDE for DJGPP) and set my program (head, sector, side, disk).
It will be explained inside of my source code. Then You have to run it
and it will do everything. If You don't have any disk editor, ask me to
ehance my program of searching Your lost data (when You will give to it a
"keyword" to search) and then saving it to disk with gived size. That's
all what I can do for You.
