I just received a new machine and was moving files over then deleting the old files from my machine. Somehow during this move my *.pst file did not make it... This file contains over 200MB of critical client data I must have to do business. I have downloaded several recovery tools (R-Studio and others) to my new machine and scanned the old machine over the network. None of the tools can find my deleted *.pst file. Is there any other ideas out there.....

How about accessing the hiberfil.sys. My system did go into hibernation the morning before I started deleting files.

Folks I am really in trouble here, all help appreciated.

I suppose I shouldn't ask why you didn't make sure your
files were successfully transferred to the new computer
before deleting them from the old computer.......

Well yes that is a very interesting question... Since I have only done this a few dozen times in my life, you would think I would have this process down to a science.

Bottom line, I did backup my old files onto CD-ROM's. The PST file was the only file that did not copy over. I guess I logged out of Outlook during the copy and the pst file was in use at the time. This is one of those HUGE screw ups that I know to prevent. Those 14 hour days just catching up with me......

you might need to turn on the option to view hidden files and folders then
search again!
