history restored

We had our computer repaired, recently, and to our surprise everything was erased including all our pictures. Thanks to this web site we were able to recapture most of our cargo conversion build. It sure was a relief.

Files on hard drives are not deleted. The directry that shows you that they exist disapears. The only wat to really "erase" them is to overwrite another file on top of them. Most likely, your photos are still there. Unless your hard drive failed and they replaced your drive.

There are lots of software programs out there to recover them. I sense you have a Windows machine and I use a Mac so I can't recommend any software for that purpose. Google "Jpeg file recover software".

I backup my Mac almost nightly since I do a bit of writing and can't afford a crash like you had.

Good luck.

There's a great program called get data back it comes in several flavors.
If you've got a windows machine get data back for ntfc should be the one for you.
You can recover files after reinstalling windows countless times from the 1st instalation it's that good, you'll require another hard drive the same or bigger to back up onto.

Thanks for the info I'll check into it. My pictures are the big thing I'd like back.
