Recover files from a serious fatal error shutdown?
I started editing a project at 5PM EST where I was saving it up until 10Pm where I decided to start renaming in time incriments. I have been saving about every 7 minutes until I got the fatal shutdown. I got the dialogue box to send the error to Apple, but I wasn’t even interested. I tried to reopen and lost everthing back until the 5PM save. Which isn’t much. Is there anyway i can recover my last save? This shut down must have been pretty bad to lose my renamed file and those after it over the next three hours. It is 11:30 PM and I am sitting here in a state of shock.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Boot off your system disc and repair your disc, and see if you just have catelog problem… if so make sure you don’t change anything because the more you change the less likely you are to get your data back…

Have you tried looking in the Autosave Vault

Are you saying that none of these new files were created? Or that you opened the original file, and it didn’t match the last version you saved (which it should not, because that last version is actually a different file!)

When you did the renaming, did you do the “save as” to a different location than the original and you just haven’t looked there?
