A though one: Deleted original source clip and WMM won't let me fi

I posted this on another site and decided to give it a shot here...

===================================

Hello,
I think this is a tricky one. I have tried everything that I could think of.
Here is the stoty:

Added a 58:00 avi clip to my timeline... did a lot of chopping out of it ...
so it turned into a 20 minutes, 30 little clips ... the exited WMM . my wife
logged in and thought: "G, what is this 13 gb movie file doing in the
desktop?" BAM source deleted.
I tried 4 different "UNdelete" programs in windows but none could even find
the file to bring it back...

That 13gb file was created of 2 other smaller files. So I was able to
recreate this 13gb file.... as far as I can tell (properties and all) it is
exactly the same 13gb file I had before my wife deleted... but now on the
time line when I try to Locate the Source (on the clips that have the little
red X) WMM tells me the file isn't close to the original one....

Please Please think hard.. how can I recuperate this? I could just re-edit
the new 13gb file, but it took me 3 hours originally... (many many cuts)
Any ideas?????

Thanks

It it has exactly the same properties (same size, same signature, etc.) and
the same name and same location (check by clicking on the Red X), then it
*might* work. But if any of these are different (especially the size and file
contents) then you would seem to be out of luck...

exactly the same. even same location.....

is there a way to force WMM to plug that clip in ?

or \can you think of anything else i can do to not loose all the edit outs I
did.... kind like replicate them on the new file?
 
with help from friends on windowsmoviemaker.net I got the solution

You have to rebuild the original file and place it EXACTLY on the same
location it was originally. same folder path and file name
