Damn! Could kick myself - help needed

[coolVariable]

I have an external drive where I save all my digital photos.

So I was moving some new digital photos to this drive.
By mistake some files had the same names, so they overwrote each other.
Is there any way I can restore the overwritten files?

By my experience I am afraid not. However there might be a special program that some other posters know about that could do the trick. Hey Guys!!!???????😉:clock::shocked::|🙂

Sorry - a file overwritten by another of the same name is gone. No good backup program will overwrite same-named files without asking - time to get a good backup program (unless a certain someone - look in mirror - DISABLED that feature 😉 ).

I am afraid your file is gone,that's why they invented those usefull things called FOLDERS. 😉

Tried restoring the original files with this program but it did not find the files in the location they were moved from ... rather stupid that windows doesn't have a good file recovery system ...
the ones out there seem to all suck.
