Lost Word Documents

M

Matt

Recently, I lost a number of Word 2000 documents. I have
been changing laptops recently and have been copying files
back and forth between an external hard drive and my
computer. One day, a number of documents will only open up
to garbage text - the little boxes. All of the documents
were of differing sizes, but seem to open to a similar
number of characters of garbage text. This has only
happened to some of the files. Some are still fine, but
they were all copied at the same time. I have run a virus
scan and come up with nothing. I'm not sure what caused
this. I would like to know: 1 - what caused this and how
do I get rid of it? 2 - Is it possible to get back my lost
documents?

Thanks

Matt
