files have gone

[hdjx]

I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed and MOVED the directory back again.

However, in the process, most of the files have disappeared! What I don't understand is why the original files were deleted if they were not copied over.

As far as I can see, the files have gone for good. Is there any hope? Friend suggest Data Recovery Wizard, can I try that?

Sure, your situation is common. You can download the Demo version to have a try and you can find the lost files.

use system restore

do a complete re-install instead...system restore sucks and makes your computer very instable and diesn't fix any problems atall

Na, use system restore to get the files back (copy em over the network or onto a cd/usb drive, etc). Then, once you have the files, restore the system back to its usual state.
