steve,

couple of ideas. Depending on how large and valuable the file was:

Go through your History folder (or whatever the equivalent is in Netscape) and see if the url's will copy back over to your bookmarks folder. Or you could click on each one to bring up the web-page and then save it as a bookmark again. You could get the more recently used ones this way.

For $40 PowerQuest sells Lost & Found. I used it successfully to recover a partition that I accidentally formatted, but I don't know how good it would be at recovering deleted files. Especially since you will probably need to continue using your disk in the meantime -- I doubt this would be a good solution. But if you were really interested you could give PQ tech-support a call.

Need I say, you should have had them backed up?
