    i fucking hate myself

    i'm in the middle of backing up all of my computer files as i'm going to re-install everything and start over, and after putting all of my pictures onto Rob's PC on the network I accidentally deleted that folder not realising I had already cut and pasted all of my photos onto his and the directory no longer existed on mine.

    is there any way to get this back? it's not in the recycling bin. i've heard when you delete something its not literally deleted just 'overwriteable' and invisible to windows..

    5 years worth of photos on there.. please someone help if at all possible - i'm totally gutted.

    Norton do a package called Unerase, it comes as part of Norton Utilities.

    I've got a copy if you want to borrow it and sort it all out.

    Failing that, this has the same undelete feature and comes in a trial version... Never tried it before but it seems alright.

    undelete programs are notoriously bad at finding things - especially in windows - it shifts the files to the recycle bin (not leaving them in the folder they were in) and the recycle bin is just a temp folder which changes often.

    Norton works best* if it's already installed



    * a relative term for norton
