pref free solution please ... <br />
<br />
early version of word. &nbsp; Not a docx <br />
<br />
It cant be found in a dos search. <br />
<br />
Is there a free good hex editor I can try? <br />
Im not familiar with hex editors but Ive heard its the way to go. <br />
<br />
Any point trying a data recovery tool like easy data recover or NTFS recovery tool<br />
rather than a hex editor? <br />
<br />
Thanks.

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
