aaaarrrrr help
 

please can anyone help...... I just accidently deleted my entire music collection which took 3yrs. to compile...!!!!:Yikes: ( and 20 secs. to delete ) I deleted 'my music' from 'my documents' by mistake....
it wasn't in my recycle bin and system restore didn't help..
I think there is some sort of recovery software available, anyone know anything about it?
cheers and merry christmas to you all.............:confused:

Three years - and you don't have any backups ???

Learn from this :)

Re: aaaarrrrr help
 

use a program called getdataback

Re: aaaarrrrr help
 

I don't suppose this data was on another drive (although by the sound of it it wasn't)

Because the more you use the drive with it on the less chance you are going to have of getting it back.

thanks everyone I've tried several recovery progs. now all to no avail.....guess they're gone for good....

happy New-Year to all.....

Re: aaaarrrrr help
 

Cor don't know what you have done to it, but as previously mentioned getdataback is a crackin progrmae. Ive been amazad by the amount of data it can recover iven on formatted and reinstalled win xp systems...

getdataback worked for me when for some reason my external hd became unaccessable and lost it's mft (or whatever, not a techie)

nothing was deleted on the drive but i just couldn't access it.

and as i said, i'm not a computer techie at all and still managed to work out what to do with the software!!

I brought a removal hard drive to back up all my data plus music............Âƚ£80.00 for 160 gb drive backed up my 7500 songs in about 30 minutes. Well worth the investment I think.
