I did a complete system recovery on my PC. I thought I made a copy of all my
pictures but I didn't.
Is there any way to get them back? Or is that just wishful thinking???
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks!
 
How about searching your hard drive for them?
They may still be there but you simply do not know where they are.
Click on Start, click on Search.
Click on Pictures, music, video.
In the textbox, All or part...., type exactly this:
*.jpg
and click on Search.
This will return thumbnails of all picture files on your hard drive. If you
see the thumbnails of the pictures you are looking for, right click on it
and then click on Open the containing folder on the opening menu.

If this does not work, post again but you need to tell us what is a
"complete system recovery". Some software is available to recover deleted
files and depending on what you did we can then try to help.
 
If you are talking about using the disk that came with your pc and did a
format and install, then they are gone, but if you just restored windows
they are still their.
 
Thanks for the help.....I guess I lost them...I did a complete recovery....I
used the install disk that came with my pc and reinstalled the whole
thing....I thought I had put all my pictures on a disk but I must have
missed some...Thanks so much for your help though....I had never used that
option before....Sure helps you find something quick.....
Thanks again!

Click to expand...

Any time I upload new pictures I copy them to a CD *immediately.* I
leave the CD unfinalized so I continue to use it until it is full. That
way I can always go back to my original picture.
 
Thanks for the website....I tried it but it didn't find anything....I can't
believe I didn't save them before I ran the install disk....I don't know
what I was thinking....
Thanks for all your help! It has been greatly appreciated....Have a great
day!
