My computer died while I was using AI. I haven't saved the file at all. Is there anything I can do to get the file back?

I have been working for it more than 24h

    Save first, Save often.

    ... and if you can't remember to save, use the plugin Autosaviour Lite to remind you or even save one backup copy for you.

    If you have never saved it, then you will need to recreate it. The newer versions have a save-on-crash feature, but you will see this when you first relaunch.

    Next time, save when you start the project, and save every time you do something right or every few minutes, whichever comes first.

    Also, I would like to extend my sympathies...
