we did appear on CN8 Money Matters, during April of 2005...it was a blast!
This problem is commonly caused by an application. {i.e. word, WordPerfect}
or operating system error. As long as the disk has not been
overwritten by another file, or low-level format, your file should still
be on the disk. An easy fix may be to un-delete the file,
using an UNDELETE utility, or perhaps in the re-cycle bin on your
desktop. However, if these methods do not work or are
un-available to you, we can still recover the file. If
the file was on a floppy disk, you may be able to send us an image of the
disk, via email. Each week we get a few of these
requests, and our success rate, especially for text documents, is well
over 95%, and the usual cost is about $175-$350.. 
actions by you or other users since you last saw the file.
This may give you a clue as to what happened, perhaps it has just been
moved or renamed. Also check in the re-cycle bin. If all
this fails then you should stop using the drive immediately, especially
don't save anything else to it. It's time to seek professional
help. 
More information is required
to even begin to answer this question. However, the most
likely cause is some configuration error on your machine. See
if you can open the database from some other computer on the
network. If this works, then reinstall the correct
configuration on your machine. If not then the database may
just be corrupted, and most database developers provide some utility
programs for repairs. If all else fails, your data is usually
recoverable and if it is not to complex {i.e. does not include external
joins}, then it can be reconstructed. Your problem may
also be failed hardware at the server. Professional help is
recommended. 
This is often a simple
configuration problem, perhaps for some reason its looking in the wrong
directory. It may also mean that the file that you want to use has
become corrupted. The first step is to reboot your computer,
then before you open any other applications, find and delete all files
with the extension TMP. Then reboot and try again. If
this fails, reinstalling the software may be helpful, but it could also
further damage your chances of recovery. If the program is an
accounting package like QuickBooks, a CRM like ACT, or and Email client
like Eudora there are usually a few simple steps to see if recovery is
possible, or if more heroic efforts are necessary. Seek
professional help if the problem is not easy to solve.
This is usually a
configuration problem! But it may also indicate some corruption in
the partition table, or file allocation system. If you have adequate
virus protection in place, then you may find some success with a program
like a partition manager. However, be extremely careful with this or
any other type of invasive system program, because they may render your
drive un-recoverable.
HTML files, especially when
they include elaborate scripts can often become corrupted through manual
or automatic updates. Front Page users often encounter
problems with navigation bars for this very reason. If you
have a back-up, a simple restoration of the INDEX file will remove the
problem. Re-generating the page is also successful
sometimes. However, if the easy solutions don't work you may
need to have the page, supporting directories, and index files examined
for recovery. We can help you with this. 
Data recovery is a service
that you only utilize after most other technicians have evaluated your
media and determined that the data is not retrievable. That
means that in order to recover your data, we must employ expensive
equipment, expensive parts, very expensive personnel, and often many
man-hours to achieve the recovery. We like to say that this
is the Magic business...but there is no Magic Wand. 
Our approach is to stabilize, and normalize your drive,
ensuring that the problem is un-related to the integrity of your
data. We then use our proprietary back-up techniques to
move your accessible data to a safe environment. Only then do
we consider opening your drive for more risky and heroic attempts.
Although careful packaging is sufficient,
for the shipment of drives and laptops, we can also get you a specialized shipping
box (from
