while on holidays my son in law installed windows xp on the drive where I stored all my documents and pictures!!!!
they are not there anymore..... does anyone know if it is possible to find them or have they been erased
it will save his life if they can be found!!!!!!
Depends how he installed winxp, if he chose to format prior to install, then
no chance
If not the folders should be still visible in explorer / my computer.
Presumably no backups ?

thanks for the reply. I have checked in explorer and also with search to no avail. there is something called registry backup on d drive 21 feb 2004. I assume he backed up the registry. when I asked him if he formated it he said he didn't think so (that's probably because he knows how dangerous it would be to say yes! ha!). I assume that in installing windows xp it would just overwrite everything? Like all my documents for all my life/taxes/leases/will/etc. are gone..... If I take it to a professional is there some way they can find things even if they are erased
