How to recover ms project 2010 file?

[Tomas Vipers]

Hi all,

I am trying to recover a microsoft project 2010 file that i spent around 4 hours work on, that was overwritten by an older version of the file. It happened on a school laptop therefor was saved on my usb.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks :)
