Visual Studio lost my solution

(1/4) > >>

Fred Nerd:
OK, so I'm smoking mad...
Was almost finished Assignment 8 of Programming School in C#
Had the project open in Visual Studio, and remembered to hit CTRL +S after everything that worked. System had some form of crash (I only ever hibernate, so its not too suprising) and now its GONE.
Shadow Explorer can't even find it.
This is Vista, does anyone have any idea of how it might be recovered?
Serves me right for not having a full backup plan, BUT I often haven't the time for the laptop, and I only back up important docs/photos.
Gnnnn Gnnnn Gnnnn, this is sooo annoying. And I was so close.

Ath:
Try a chkdsk like operation, and check out the files it produces (in the root of the drive or in dir00001 style directories), sometimes you can find pieces of sourcecode there.

Fred Nerd:
I ran ChkDSK, but the log tells me nothing. You mean a recovery program, or where do I find the files? Thanks for help.

Fred Nerd:
Also, Mouser, if I submit it without fully re-creating everything, I hope you remember this post.

phitsc:
It's of course no help now, but: start using a version control system.

There are free hosting services that allow closed source projects, if you'd rather keep your stuff private.
