Lost files help

I have vegas 5 in my C drive and I put huge 120 minutes worth of clips in my E drive and worked from there. Then I accidently put about 50 files in my trash bin so I went there and restored them and they disapeared in my trash bin but DID NOT go back to my E drive. Please any answers?

Thank you
Randini

Do you know the names of any of the files? If so use Start > Search > Files or Folders.

If you don't know the names use a wild-card in the search Field like *.avi, this will show all files with the avi extension (substitute the actual extension). You can also use the advanced feature and set a size threshold, say over 50 MB, again substitute for your situation.

Yes I know all the names this is the weirdest thing. I will NEVER NEVER restore a numerous amount of highlighted files again. I will do one at a time.
Now I think I have to go through 3 60 minute dv tapes again.

I had a similar episode. Did a Goggle search for "recover deleted computer files." Picked up a little utility for $12 or so that will show you what still resides on the drive and let you get it back. Can't remember the name, it's on my other "work" computer. Filerecover or something like that. Darryl
