Overwritten data files - CD ROM
3 Answers
I've accidentally written to a CD that had some old data files on it. I can now only see the new ones. Is there a simple (and cheap) method/utility of seeing the old files? Or have I just waved bye bye to them?

In this case the files are still there and should be able to be read with an appropriate utility. I wouldn't bet on it though :-(
