Call for blackup next time.

i.e. back up your data next time lol.

[nspurway]

You could ask Hard drive specialists to recover it:D

[dj dekoi]

Hmm.. I should do that. I miss my music :( :( :(

Yea i was going to do the same thing but i didnt do it myself i got the computer guy to put windows back on it and put all my files in a folder on desktop so you can put it werever you want after he reinstales windows

Sorry about that Dekoi, like Spurway said, all you can do now is take it to harddrive specialists and tell them to recover the data, be prepared to spend alot of money though, it aint cheap.

[daft2punk]

You can do it yourself too and for free. Just dont install anything on it.

Take it to the FBI, those guys are able to recover child porn from harddrives that were put in the microwave!

I have had to reboot my computer twice because of viruses and I know exactly how much it sucks. I just had to start over again.
But now I have learned how to avoid viruses *cough* staying away from porn sites *cough* (I'm just kidding) so I have no problems now with my computer for a long time. :D

there was one program i sent to my friend when i accidentally messed up the filestructure of her external, i can't remember exactly what it was, but it worked really well for her.

here's a crapload of links to programs that might help (i didn't read the entirety of all of these, but they still should be somewhat helpful; listed in no particular order, though i did see PhotoRec mentioned several times, so you might wanna start with that one):

i know a good bit of those talk about photos and camera memory cards, but the programs mentioned in even those threads might be able to help. also, reading the comments usually brings up some good suggestions, too.

good luck getting your stuff back!

If youre using PC, get F-Secure, the best Firewall/Anti-Virus out there today, believe me it makes the competition look like child's play, my best friend is a PC guru and is obssesed with anything software-ish/PC-related, he's used many Anti-Virus programs, and he recommended F-Secure to me as the best there is, I've been thankful ever since, stuff that Norton doesn't even notice is immediately caught by F-Secure, oh and always back-up your data periodically from time to time.

Sorry again about the PC, hope everything goes well.

IMHO F-Secure is the best and I use it. And it's finnish! ;)

yeah, that was the first link on my links. nothing can guarantee that you get everything back, but every little thing that helps, is good. you should try some of the other programs to try and recover things as well. you'll probably have a better shot at getting more things back with the more different methods you try.

you're welcome. :D
