> If you are looking for a precious file, you will gladly agree to wait > for hours. Which is what it took me ;-) Thanks for the advice folks! I couldn't find anything under DOS that would work, so I ripped the hard drive out and set it up as a slave on my Windows box and ran a freeware data recovery software that found it right away. I don't know what happened, but I wonder if the program I was writing at the time had memory leaks that overwrote something that caused a write to the hard disk or something like that. It was enough just so DOS couldn't see it as a file. It was completely there when I recovered it though. Thanks a bunch! John
