Don't give up trying to get those files back, if one program doesn't work, try another, you need specialist programs to delete something permanently, so you'll get em back.
even if you only manage a partial recovery of a certian file (a jpg or wrd etc) there will be another program to recover that.
one thing though, it will be best to use a different computer really, as the more that's written on that hdd the less likly you'll have a clean recovery. either over network, or plug the drive in to another pc.

There has been an error with one of the recent AVG updates that causes a crash. Might not be whats caused your problem but I know three other people locally who have had the same thing. Usually it crashes, then won't start up, then when you can get in, all your data has gone....
** googles for info ***
***finds it***

Like I said... might not be the cause, but its a common problem at the moment.
Stew-b, I hope the above info justifies my question for you :?: :?: :roll:

my pc crashed around that time . system 32 error it kept telling me . :evil:
I lost my system drivers about 3 months ago,completely out the blue.
Switched on one morning and was confronted by the screen you're seeing
I think it was malicious but i havent a clue where i would have got it from :?
No repair would work so in the end i did a complete wipe followed by a reinstallation of XP
The only place i could find that had unrecognized files, was in system restore
I suggest you clean and delete any saved restore points,do a couple more scans then set a new restore point from there

Did you get your files back yet and is it the programms instead.
If so then it's because you used a system restore. These are used as a last resort (normally) and wipe the drive and start over again, though if you used the VISTA repair feature? then you should not have lost anything.
Either way do a search (using search in all files and folder including hidden) for *.doc file (assuming you use word) you may just have a new profile (i.e. new user added and old one is now hidden away).
give
http://www.diskinternals.com/ntfs-recovery/ a go ( trail version)
or
http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm (trial version)
local torrent site more than likely have full versions to test out as well.

Lucky she did find a load of back up files stored on a long forgotten USB.
Is this the voice of experiance ?
