I recently copied and pasted a file geodatabase using windows explorer from one location to another location. After doing so I deleted the original file. When I try to open or access the geodatabase in the new location it shows just a folder in ArcCatalog or ArcMap. Using windows explorers I can see that the files that make up the geodatabase are there, it just seems based upon my previous readings of other forums that maybe not all the files got pasted and were possibly in use even though I wasn't running sessions of ArcMap or ArcCatalog. I would really like to get this data back, I tried adding the gdb file that was missing but I get the error failed to connect to geodatabase or that its the wrong version even though both geodatabases were creating in ArcGIS 10. Any suggestions....?
