Please Help! Files Missing!

[DrHu]

I was moving a 3 GB folder from one of my mounted NTFS drives to another when the power suddenly went off.
...
I feel that the files are lost somewhere between the two drives.

It got lost on windows source directory

you can try a recovery app to see if it can find the file and restore it

--unless you had a backup/restore point set (in windows ) you wont be able to retrieve/restore that file, and if you do have such a restore point/snapshot of the system, you will lose any changes made after that snapshot was taken
--if the application you created the file with has its own automatic saving feature, you might have the file elsewhere on the windows system..

That is the problem with backups
--most aren't live/continuous backups of active files

Kumar Aditya,

Try using the Mint live cd. Put it in the drive and reboot the computer to the Mint desktop of the live cd. Make sure your partitions are mounted and open the partition the files were on or where you were moving them to. Maybe, just maybe you might still have some or all of them.
