is there any way to recover a file when you replaced its folder?

[raafael23]

you know when you have 2 folders with the same name and the computer asks you if you want to replace it, keep both and such ? well, I did that to a very important folder that was on my external hard drive, now I don't know what to do… is there any way to recover the folder to its version before I replaced it?

ps: information - I replaced using a mac OSX Lion, but I can use any softwares for windows since the folder is on my hard drive not on my laptop
- also, they were photos, which I edited with photoshop, so maybe there's something I can do in photoshop, maybe?
- it wasn't deleted, it was replaced!

Can I ask how many different sites your going to copy and paste this same topic to? I have seen it on at least 4 now.

You posted here, TSF, TF, BleepingComputers, Yahoo among who knows how many more. Not a single time have you responded to any comments made as to what to try, or answered any questions that were asked. So why are you spamming the internet with this if you refuse to follow any advise given?
