:rose;:wine; for ya
but like I said when you get say a roll of pictures on your pc, webshots has a program you can download, fire it up from desktop,login with your username/pass and it shows you all your albums and what pics you have in each album, its really really EASY once you download the program, you can upload multiple pics/images at the same time rather than just waiting for each individual pic to load like if you did it using IE(internet explorer)
its free too![]()

get teh trial version of Norton utilities and undelete it. Simple.
Yeah, undelete programs work.
they wok because your computer doesnt delete stuff. In simple terms it hides it, and tags it to be ver written. Files dont get ovewritten that fast, so the files that you delete are still there.
I think you can do this through DOS, or at least you used to.

If you think there might be some naked pictures of you in the files that got deleted, I'm sure the would be a bunch of guys here willing to spend hours trying to recover your data.
Just a tip.
there were definitely some of my friends.
Pics???

HD error,etc.)

I have had uses that tell me they don't need anything other than their emails & my document folder, and it never is that way. Therefore I now backup everything after hearing complaints from the first few of how I lost their files.
You should have been there with your mom bf to tell him exactly what you want & need to be save, because he is not a mind reader. And, you should be grateful for what he did, because he did it for free.

Caitlin,
If this just happened then there's no way that all the photos are gone (I've brought back items that were deleted months and months ago). Try not doing anything else on the computer until you use some more recovery tools. Check Cnet and see if they have any recommendations for a good utility.
As for your mom's boyfriend...bake him some chocolate chip cookies with exlax as a peace offereing.![]()

Wait a minute....I may have missed this but what operating system is on the PC? If it's WinMe or WinXP you very well may be able to get your files back if system restore is active. I'm a little confused where these files were lost from, but if they were nuked from a PC with an existing OS then you might get lucky.

Go to Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Once you're there you should have 2 choices: Restore My computer to an earlier time and Create a restore point....you would obviously want the first choice. From then on it should be fairly easy to follow along with the wizard.
