lost data

[Hazel-nut]

My laptop has decided to be weird and mess up at the most vital point in my lfe so far! it has deleted all of my data from my project and all of the analysis i have done! :( luckily it hasnt deleted my essay! i would be screaming and crying if i had lost that and this message would be pleading alot more :p
i could input all of my data again and re-do my analysis but i have 163 participants who all answered 7 questions and i also have to work out the average of each participant so i dont really want to do that!
does anyone know if there is anway of recovering the lost documents? everything that was in my dropbox folder has disappeared :(
any suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Back it up to an external drive, nothing worse than losing work.

I am sooooo pleased for you Hazel :) When I saw the title of 'lost data' from you I was hoping and praying I wouldn't read you had lost your dissertation or something like that as I would have cried with you ;D

Life should NEVER, EVER be that cruel to anyone! ;D

whats a 6 sigma black belt? sounds like something to do with karate :P
i didnt think anyone would know what an anova or t-test was

6 Sigma is the application of statistics, "data-driven decision making", and sigma being the phrase used for a standard deviation, taking something to six standard deviations is about as close to perfection as is reasonably possible (1.37 defects per million opportunities I recall) - it's something that I did in a previous life at Caterpillar (making diggers, not boots...) Anovas and T-tests were some of the analyses that we used to do on data that we'd gathered. I remember Anova meaning Analysis of Variants and it was useful to see whether a variable had a significant influence on the outcome of things...

I understand you scotty. 6Sigma was a Big thing here for a while along with 5S's, Kaizan, 8G blah blah blah......
