Leopard Stupid Mistake
OSC Leopard 10.5.6
Let's say, I have Portable's Disk folder "ABC" with 100 files and a USB KEY folder "ABC" with 10 files.
Now I copy (drag & drop) USB KEY 's "ABC" into Portable. Leopard says there is already a folder there with the same name and asked if I want to replace, (or STOP), I mistaken believe that it will do a replace copy, not erase-replace. My belief was that it will copy the 10 files into the same folder with 100 files for a total of 110, sorta merging the two same name folders..
Oh no, it deletes my 100 files and replace it with 10 files. Now I can't for any mean find the other 100 files.
Not in the trash can, not anywhere I can search.

Aanyone can help?
