This isn't really a Windows question, but I don't know where I would
find the answer. Maybe you know the answer or where to find it.
How do I find a directory that was lost when I unzipped a file to it?
Using windows 98 and Winzip, I unzipped a zip file to "here", the same
directory in which the zip file was located, E:\download. The moment
I did that, the whole Download directory disappeared. Norton Undelete
didn't find it. I think the FAT entry was overwritten rather than that
anything actually "deleted" it.
I haven't written to the E: partition since then, and there are no
Windows icons in it (the ones that appear on the screen change their
date, fwiw, whenever they are clicked on.)
I'm thinking with Norton Diskedit, I can set the directory entry, or
its entry in the FAT back the way it was beforehand, but I'm pretty
sure I need advice. (I have a backup for part of the Download
directory, but not the most recent entries.)
Thanks.
