Overwritten File

[Fujiflyer]

Wonder if anyone can give me advice here... (WinXP Desktop PC)

Wifey has accidently saved an earlier version of a word processed document (in Open Office, I think), over the later version she had prepared, by accident causing her to lose the later work.

Is there any utilities which I can use to find the file on the HDD assuming it has not already been overwritten? Obviously if the file had simply been deleted it would have been straightforward because we could easily restore it (using undelete) but no equivalent seems to exist for an overwritten file (strangely, as it seems an easier mistake to make).

Thanks, Fuji :*

This will probably locate the file if its available. You will need to download it to a floppy or another hard drive. If the lady's file is there, you may have to part with a few shekels to pay for the programme.
