Recovering a Pages document (Mac OSX Snow Leopard)
Hey everyone,
I have a friend who had a previously saved Pages document, then opened it up and did a lot of editing to it. Upon saving it, Pages crashed. I asked her to restart the computer and look in the Trash bin for a Recovered Files folder...no go.
Any ideas/tricks on how we could get this file or at least a rough version of it? Thanks!

Thanks guys...she bothered me to help her and then ended up redoing the damn paper lol. But thanks I was interested in how to do it anyway so thanks for the tips.
Apologies. The answer is, unless the system has been powered off since the data loss, and your friend has access to an experienced UNIX programmer, and is willing to allow hardware reconfiguration to mount her disk in another computer, or at least remotely mount it, then you have better odds at winning the lottery.
