Q: Can I recover an important PC file that I accidentally overwrote with another one using the same file name? — Richard Austin, Skaneateles, N.Y.

If the two are stored in different places, the original can probably be recovered by using one of the downloadable programs at . But recover it right away, because the PC thinks that disk space is available for storing something else.
