Hi all. Over the weekend I "finally" took the plunge and made OSX my default OS. I've had OSX since the first day of it's release, but I'm still a newbie. I was cleaning up the clutter of many cd's around my computer to backup projects and other misc files. I often use CD/RW's to go between work and home. Here's what I did. I copied a couple of projects from the CD/RW to my backup folder on my harddrive. I then erased the CDRW and put it away. Now the finder undo command sounds really cool, but some time later in my attempt to hit CMD+A to select all files, I accidently hit CMD+Z, essentially undoing the last undoable finder command which apparently was my copy from the now erased CDRW. I saw the files disappear before my eyes, thought "oops wrong key", I'll simply redo. Finder replies something to the effect that the original disc can't be found.. No do on the redo. The files weren't in the trash and I don't know enough about the command line to do any searching there... The files have to be somewhere... right? These files weren't anything major, as I have backup's of them at work.. but it could have turned out to be a devestating loss. -kevin G4 450mp running OS10.2.3 512 ram, 20g ATA 7200 Seagate Barracuda 30g ATA 7200 IBM (Still have) ATA Rage128pro video card PCI slots are empty _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
