lost photo folder on external hard drive
Dear members-please can anyone help.
I was copying (backing-up) my digital photo collection by moving the files from an external hard drive onto a partition on the desktop PC.
Unfortunately, during the process, my computer failed (I think the CPU has gone).
At the point in which the computer packed-up, only a relatively few of the pics had been moved over.
Regrettably, afterwards, I checked the external hard drive and found the photo folder had disappeared completely.
Furthermore, the hard drive on the computer itself (to which I was moving the files) did not contain the photos .
I have tried windows disk check (checkdisk) but this does not help. I have set folder options to "view hidden folders" but this has not shown up a folder containing photos either.
Should anyone be able to assist I will be most grateful because as things stand I have lost several years of precious digital pics.
Ian
