Please help. mark Mark - in the old days (OS9) I used Norton Utilities for UN-ERASE, for those few times when I accidentally deleted files. Recovery was good, provided the disk has not been used since the error. I do not have such a utility for X. If it happened to me, I would re-boot in OS9 and see if Norton Un-erase (if I can still find the CD!) would help. T.
