Well, it was saved onto my USB. Then I opened it, edited it, left it. When I came back someone had switched user and when I logged back in every thing crashed and I lost all the work. I restarted it and it said autorecover failed to recover anything. I use Mic. Word Office/ Win X P. I'd like to know how to access the hard drive to retrieve the unsaved data (if this is practical). Any other advice is welcomed.
