Unhappy aaaarrrrr help
please can anyone help...... I just accidently deleted my entire music collection which took 3yrs. to compile...!!!! ( 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.............

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.

Re: aaaarrrrr help
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.
