Hello Ildra,

 

You could try Recuva, a free program that can be found here:

But no guarantee.

Onderwerp: lost data set?

 

Hello,

 

Yesterday I have been working on a dataset, with a couple of tens of variables and about 500 cases. After I have done some basic statistics (descriptives, explore procedures..) and saved the standardized values for some variables, I closed the dataset. Today, when I searched in the folder were I was keeping it, the set was no longer there. I've tried looking for it in windows with the search option but it just gives me the shortcut which will not open (it says that it has been changed or moved and is no longer available). This file was kept on a usb stick but I carefully saw that all programes are closed before ejecting the usb. Since I have put a lot of work in this set, I wouldn't like to take it all over from the beginning. Is there any way to recover my data?

 

Thank you!
