Using Windows Explorer, a user attempted to "move" a file instead of copying
and deleting the original (as instructed). Sure enough, something happened
to the network during the "move" (transfer) between the two machines and the
file was unusable on the new machine. Is there a way to recover the file
from the original machine?

Standard Caveat: DO NOTHING FURTHER ON THE DRIVE. The data is still on
the hard drive but if you overwrite it, it will be extremely difficult
or impossible to recover it. If you use data recovery software, install
it on another machine and either use it from that operating system or
create a bootable cd/floppy and work with that. If you don't have the
skill and/or equipment to do these procedures and the data is crucial,
take the machine to a professional computer repair shop that has
experience in doing data recovery. This will not be your local version
of BigStoreUSA. In-shop data recovery is usually not exactly cheap (for
ex., my charges are generally $150-350USD), but it normally costs less
than sending the drive to a company like Drive Savers. You need to make
the determination of the value of your data and decide what to do.
