Thank you if some one can help me get my files back... I have not swept my deleted files today....

Hi,

You could try Recuva.

Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

Thank you very much, I will try that....

Suggest that you use ShadowExplorer 0.8 :
ShadowExplorer.com - Downloads

excerpt :
ShadowExplorer allows you to browse the Shadow Copies created by the Windows Vista/7 Volume Shadow Copy Service. It's especially thought for users of the home editions, who don't have access to the shadow copies by default, but it's also useful for users of the other editions.
Shadow Copy

From time to time, Windows Vista/7 creates point-in-time copies of your files. This allows you to retrieve older versions from files you accidentally deleted or altered. This service is turned on by default on all versions of Windows Vista/7, but Microsoft grants access to these copies only in Ultimate, Business, and Enterprise editions. This is where ShadowExplorer comes into play. For more information on Shadow Copy, visit Microsofts website.

P.S. I have both Recuva and ShadowExplorer.
Personally, ShadowExplorer is far more superior.

Thank you I will look into that one too... You can never be too arefull... I am still in the middle of scanning my HD for pics, its recovered some, but not all yet.....

Thanks Again you guys for all your help and so quickly....

How to Recover that Photo, Picture or File You Deleted Accidentally
Recover lost or deleted files
Can I recover files that I have accidentally deleted?

Until you've recovered your pics (or determined that you can't recover any more of them) it's VERY IMPORTANT that you don't save anything or create any new files or folders. In fact, the less you do on your computer, the better, because anything created or saved could be created or saved right over the very files you're trying to recover.

Therefore, before you use ANY recovery software: be sure to check out all of the options before you actually use any one of them. Although most recovery software products just scan your system before they actually change it, you don't want to take a chance that ANYTHING is done to your system until you are absolutely sure what course you want to take. That also goes for writing any files to your system or making any changes of any kind. The more you use your computer, the less chance you'll have of recovering your old data.
