The "lost" data may exist on your hard drive
as a file allocation error. A file was "open" and
data was being recorded to disk at the time of
the crash. It is sometimes possible to recover
such alloccation error fragments using chkdsk.
If chkdsk recovers data to a .chk file, open it
with notepad. If you find whole emails of
interest to you there, you may select the data
segment of interest and using copy-paste
recreate the email as a plain text file, then
rename same to open it in your default email
client. Once the data is erased or overwritten,
recovery is very unlikely.
