HELP!!! RECOVER Public Pictures Folder AFTER reformatting harddrive!!!
Hello,
I have a major problem. Because my laptop was having problems involving the 'blue screen of death', I chose to backup my files to an external portable harddrive before reformatting the entire drive.
However, when opening the backup folder, I discovered that my art folder, located in the 'PUBLIC PICTURES' folder was not to be found.
What is the BEST method to recover the files from the 'PUBLIC PICTURES' folder? I had almost 5GIGS worth of pictures.
I KNOW there is a way to recover the files, but not sure if they will even be located in the Public Pictures folder. Is it possible that after reformatting, Windows 7 relocated the contents of the 'Public Pictures' folder to another place on the drive?
Is it possible to restore the folder to previous versions AFTER reformatting the drive?
Can someone PLEASE help me?? This is seven years worth of photos I saved that I'm desperately trying to recover.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH for your patience and assistance.
