Recover Overwritten File
My boss saved a blank Word file over one that he had previously saved. Now when he pulls it up there is nothing in the document. Will a recovery tool such as Lost & Found help? Is there any way to recover a file that has been overwritten?

That was my respone. I was told that I don't know what I am doing and he will pay someone to come in and recover it. Whatever, it's his money.
I thought I was right and just wanted verification on that. He keeps blabbering about internet history and recovering Michael Jackson's files. I told him that files are recovered from backup but there are no backups of his data. There will be starting tonight, though.

Nope. It's only on this one hard drive. I thought about the Word temp files but none of those exist either.
Sorry I couldn't be more of a help.

using my recovery tools, I'll try to recover my data on my hard drive, but i found out that some of the data that i want to recover is already overwritten. But in-spite of that situation i had force to recover it and when i open the files the content is already garbage! so my problem is how can i recover totally my files back to original
As it's overwritten by a blank document, your only luck will be a backup...
