The first place that you have to look out for the lost file is the recycle bin because it nay happen that the files are being delete by someone or it got deleted by you only. And if you found any of the file there then immediately restore it. There are very less chances of getting the file in recycle bin. After that you have to do the data restoration. You have to use the undelete utility. If you will run this utility, than windows will recover all the deleted that are deleted in a specific period of time. The Fat has the tendency to store a link between the clusters regarding the data. I hope that this will help you to recover the lost files.

I think you have to run the quick recovery program to get all your files back. I am sure it will work because I was also faced such kind of problem and also recovered the data with the help of this recover tool. This will recover all the data by searching through the FAT for the entries that were flagged when the data was stored on the hard disk. I guess running this program will definitely help you and if not the try and use the undelete program which is nothing but Undelete.exe that will help you if the data is delete by mistake. And also there are lots of similar kinds of utilities that will help you to do the similar thing

Well in this case if you want to recover the files that you have lost then you have to set the auto recover information enabled. And if the Save AutoRecover information every minutes option is selected, Word creates a temporary AutoRecover file that includes the latest changes in the document. Every time that Word starts, it searches for AutoRecover files. If Word finds any AutoRecover files, it displays the files that it finds in the Document Recovery task pane.First, to see whether the Save AutoRecover information every minutes option is selected, use one of the following steps:

• If you use Word 2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Save. The Save AutoRecover information every minutes option is in the Save documents section.
• If you use Word 2003: Click Options on the Tools menu. The Save AutoRecover information every [] minutes option is located on the Save tab.
• Then, if the Save AutoRecover information every minutes option is selected, try closing Word and reopening it. If the AutoRecover task pane appears on the left side of the screen, click the lost document to restore it.
• If the Save AutoRecover information every minutes option is not selected, you can try to force Word to recover the document.

4. The open ad recover option will definitely help you to open that particular file and then just save that file on the system.
