Last week I mistakenly overwrote my Quicken data with an old backup disk from over a year ago. Unfortunately I have not been backing up recently which means I have a full year of data to reinput. I know the "System Restore" in XP only changes settings not data. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

Check the recycle bin, if not there, you can try a professional recovery program If the sectors were not overwritten, you should still be able to find them
