Help!!!!!!

[Guest Lurcherbitch]

Last night my computer shut down and wiped everything out, So i have lost everything, my pics the lot . My son re-installed windows for me so i am obviously back on. Is there any way of getting my stuff back or is it lost forever in cyber space

you could try system restore go back to a date before the problem and restore the system and you should get your pictures back

 

hope this helps

did your son delete partition and then re install xp over this ? if so a system restore wont be any use

if theres pictures that you have upped on forums like this thay will be easy to get back as thay should be in (my controls)

search on the net for a recovery programe there are lots on there find the best then down load it of limewire bearsheare or find a torent file{pirate copy} ,in the mean time try not to save any programes as all old stuff is still on the hard drive but the file names have been deleted ,bit like an old video its not erased till you record over it.

Also go intoSTART MYCOMPUTER CLICK ON C DRIVE AND LOOK IN DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS your old stuff might be still there.

if your son has formatted the system then he has probably deleted the partion that held the previous operating system and this means that more than likey your stuff is lost for future referance a format and reinstall of windows should be a last resort always and even then to get your personall files off the system you do a parralel install of windows this means install the new OS on the same partion as the original OS then back up your personnal files then go back and delete all the partions again and format and reinstall windows.
