Re: Orphaned files

Hello World,

After a self inflicted foul up I re-installed Feisty. I the 'dragged
and dropped' the folder containing my work files from the backup
partition onto the new desktop. The folder came but the files didn't.
They are now marooned and, as the folder is not there, I cannot see them
or get at them. Can anyone advise a rescue please.

Can you still access your backup copy?
