    How to recover data from a mistake overwrite files???

    I used a macbook pro with Snow leopard 10.6.1. It was an accident, I copy all files in folder from Ext. HDD to a folder in macbook.

    But I've made mistake. A name of folder on Ext. HDD was same as a name of folder on my macbook. While I'm busy, It was an accident. I push enter button to overwrite data.

    A 7 GB folder has changed to approx. 2 GB folder.

    In this case, Does anyone know how to recover my data. It's an important data, I've done it for a year.

    I tried to use data rescue 3.0 and file salvage. But a search result of these 2 programs show me some thing such as 'Pic001 to Pic15555' , 'autocad 001.dwg-autocad 30000.dwg' ,001.pdf-11234.pdf'.
    My hardisk is 250 GB but a search result is 300++ GB. I can't find a file that I want to use.

    In this case, Is there any program that easy to recover my data??? a

    Pls. suggest, Thanks.

    Check the other thread. If it's really important to you you'll probably have to pay a professional lab to do it and even then results are not guaranteed.
