[G4] Jag Bug

[CJ Scaminaci]

Hey,
It really depends where the files where last located. If they were on 
removable media re-insert it and you'll find your missing files. When 
you accidentally pressed CMD-Z you undid the copy of the files meaning 
that the files were removed permanently leaving virtually no hope of 
ever finding them. After you copied the files to your CDRW did you 
remove them from their original location? If so, time to get the 
backups from work.
