Hi Steve, Sorry to hear about all this. It sounds like a really frustrating experience and even though it's 6 hours, it would be 6 painful hours to do something you've already done.

The file really is corrupted then. Looking in the file, can you check whether it has the part that you worked on? It's possible that part was lost somehow. It sounds like a bunch of strange things happened at once (no online backup and a LyX crash), but if you want to protect yourself from this in the future, you might want to consider revision control. Best of luck, Scott Scott
