I've had no milk and too lazy AF to go out to get some (across the street), I've been out of coffee and Chai for the week.

Hi Rich, does this clue assume knowledge of some radio show ?

Not really a cryptic clue then

It can be solved without following the link too.

Yep,
I always pick up a few SBC this time of year to play around with. Experimenting with a Rock64 and flashing a Debian image onto a micro-SD card. I forgot to change the USB device in the combo box and just overwrote the partition on my external hard drive with a Debian image.

Well,
I already restored from a two week old backup. Looks like I lost about two weeks (80 hours or so) worth of work, the drive held some of my personal projects that I was working on over the holidays.
I am still doing damage assessment. But I think I can quickly re-write most of what was lost.

You have my sympathy. I certainly know what that's like.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Yikes.
My holiday plans include taking the time to back up some systems I've been neglecting for a while. I can just picture getting myself into that sort of situation...If that happens, I think I'll take up heavy drinking. I just no longer have the energy these days to re-do something I've already done, especially for personal projects done over holidays.

Try writing an entire software to simulate a Movie rental website for an AP class, then you duplicate it to change it to a the text file, and when you name the text file copy, you name it the same name, and it overwrites ALL of your code, which I spent a good 150 hours on give or take, and you lose all of that code......

Heh,
Worse. I guess the Debian image has multiple partitions. I knew something was wrong when Explorer suddenly showed H: I: J: K: L: drives.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I had a (fortunately fairly minor) disaster a couple of weeks ago. I hate long file paths so map them to drive letters; e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Personal can be accessed via P:\ I'm doing some historical research and had about 600 images saved in a folder on the P: "drive". I went to delete one, but had somehow inadvertently pressed ctrl-A before delete, thereby deleting everything. "No big deal" thought I, "I'll just un-delete from the recycle bin". It took a little while for it to dawn on me that stuff deleted from a mapped drive does NOT get put in the recycle bin.
Fortunately 95% of the pics had already been uploaded to the related website, so I just downloaded and all was well. Some were still under review and I have no backup of some of them, though in many cases notes on where to find them from elsewhere.
100% my fault; all now backed up and secured, and I don't work on a mapped drive anywhere I can delete stuff (e.g. Win Explorer). You live and learn!

When you delete a file in Windows the file isn't really deleted, the entry is simply removed from the MFT[^]. You can easily recover deleted files. If the USN Journal[^] is enabled on your partition then recovering is exceeding easy.
There are a few articles here on codeproject showing how to recover files, just search for "USN Journal NTFS"[^]
Text files are extremely difficult to find with forensics tools.
I couldn't use this technique because the Debian image overwrote everything at the beginning of the drive, all partitions, MFT and parts of the USN Journal. I could have used a forensics suite to recover files with known header/footer structures. But the problem with .H and .CPP files is that they are ultimately just pure text with nothing to uniquely identify the file type. It would be a nightmare to perform forensics to recover text files. It's a 4TB drive too. Would probably take longer to locate those source files than it would take to just re-write them.
I had a backup so I ultimately only lost about two weeks worth of code.
Best Wishes,

Thanks David. All the images were found on the 'net and can ultimately be found again, so it's not such a major problem. I had other things to do at the time than search for undelete tools, but thank you for the info above; I've saved the links for another day. Although, I have also tried a couple of the examples from CP, and neither are working for me. One can't find any drives at all, the other lists them but says they're not NTFS (which they are). I note the examples are pretty old (2008 and 2010 respectively); maybe they can't cope with larger drives? (256Gb and 1Tb respectively)...

The article "Eyes on NTFS" has bugs, but they are easily fixed, I know this because I have that project in my library. I have not tried the others, make sure you run them as Administrator.
I'm not on a PC right now, I'm responding to you from my TV.
