how to recover the file

[crafor]

My computer crashed today. I recovered all but about 1/2 of one file.
I'm using openoffice. The file was about 198 pages, I finally recovered about 90 of them. How can I get the others back? Can I recover them?
At first all the documents I had open suddenly became blank. I simply turned off the computer. Upon starting it again, 5 of the six were recovered. I saved them and turned the cp off again, and turned it back on. 19 pages came back. I repeated that a few more times and got the 90 pages, but so far haven't been able to recover the rest. Ideas anyone?

I have heard her show talk about a similar situation a few times.
Also you may find a download or two regarding your problem.

I use DiskInternals Uneraser. Used it once for a friend and recovered 97% of four years worth of college work which was gone after a system crash. Great for getting photos back from cameras too or files from USB sticks even if they've been deleted.

Thanks. I just saw these, and will try them this weekend. Does it matter that I've already "saved" that (90 pages) file?
