Lost NaNoWriMo Files Bummer

gategrrlI used to have a file with my NaNoWriMo documents in it. I remember seeing it on my hard drive. So I managed to check my desktop computer and can't find it!
I was really hoping to not have to retype in the stories, but, oh well. If the files don't turn up on another hard drive I have, that got unplugged years ago, then that's what I'll have to do.
I'm pretty blind, anyway, to most of my writing faults, so maybe it's for the best I can't find them?
Hmm. I remember the oldest one I emailed to a couple of friends way way back when. I'll have to check. Yes, I still have email from 2005 and earlier.
ETA: Oooo, I seem to have found some very very old emails that have parts of the Rough Draft in the body of the emails. The first section seems to be missing, and I don't think part of the end is there, but that's okay.
I do have hard-copies of three of my NaNo attempts. I'm quite happy with two of them. One of them is an urban fantasy style story that I only got about 1/3 to 1/4 of the way through, and stopped. And I can't find my notes for it!! Wah! S'okay, though. I think I can come up with better stuff than I initially had planned for that one, if I remember the direction I was going in correctly.
