I dont know how, But i have lost a load of photo,s.
Do not knowif it is possible to recover them somehow.
..... any one :bang: :help:
 
But from where have you lost them? From a data card? Your computer? DVD? Down the back of the settee?
 
Thanks Guys,
i had a go but i think they have gone for good,
its a pity because i had all the photos from this years chinese
new year and a load of others.
That will teach me to back up in future.
 
I feel for you. I had a whole hard drive go belly up on me a while ago. It cost me £500 to recover it using a data recovery specialist :eek: . I had no choice as it was critical data for work. Unfortunately backing up regularly is a lesson we all seem to learn the hard way :( :shake:
 
I'm very surprised to hear they are gone completely. I recently did a scan of one of my older CF cards and found shots that were taken over a year before. This is a regularly used card too.
 
Will depend on where on the disk you kept the photos as to whether the space they took up has been re-used. When you delete a file on windows (assume this is) unless you did Shift-delete then anly the header part of the file is stripped to make the OS think it is no longer readable whereas Shift-delete initialises the sectors the object occupied. There is a good product out there called FileScavenger (there is a trial but it doesn't do too much) but in there you can do extewnded scan and I have retrieved folders of stuff deleted ages ago and recovered them properly

Not true, all shift+delete does is bypass the Recycle Bin. Regardless of how a file is deleted on Windows the only thing that actually gets changed is the allocation table, the actual data on the disk isn't touched until the OS next decides is needs some space.
