I have an I mac running 10.4.11

I accidentally saved a folder from my computer hard-drive named "law" to replace a folder named "law" on my flash drive. (I was trying to back up my flashdrive and completely messed the whole thing up) The folders contained different named files. What I am looking to recover are microsoft 2004 word documents.

I already looked in user/.../Microsoft user data

I just spent 3 days prepping for my law school finals and I just lost all of my class notes and outlines.

Please help if you can.

Unless you dragged the file/s from the flash drive to trash, AND EMPTIED TRASH, then it/they will still be on the drive. If you emptied it bad luck I guess.

You should've tried to undo it straight away after to replaced the folder. U might wanna try some data recovery softwares available out there..
