recovering a lost presentation

[Nicole]

I was working on a presentation and only saved it to a disk. Something happened to the disk and I lost all of it. Is there any way to recover the lost presentation?

If when your saying disk, and meaning floppy disk, then I think your probably
SOL. The standard rant around here, is to "Never save directly to a floppy disk"
always save to your hard drive, and then copy to your other medium. You might
try and copy from the disk to your HD and see if that helps. Or, you could go
looking through your (usually) C:/Windows/Temp folder looking for a .tmp file
around the same size as you presentation, and see if PowerPoint will open it up.
Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Oh, wow, look what I found when searching for the prevent corruption article
at MS -- I didn't know this one had been published yet.
