Most image files suddenly missing but not all
Hi people's,
1st time poster and really hoping someone can help.
I upgraded to windows 7 on 20th November this year. Fresh install on my C drive. I previously had my photo's on my C drive so backed them all up to one of my storage drives. After the install I copied them all back to the C drive.
There was well over 5,000 photos in over 100 folders.
I never thought to check the folders to make sure the photos copied back ok. I never got a dialogue boxing saying they hadn't so assumed they copied ok.
Since the install of windows I've had issues with my storage drive and ended up formatting it.
Just the other day I went to where my photos are on the C drive and discovered most of them are not there. Every main folder is there, but most of the sub folders are missing and most of the photos are missing.
A few folders do have 5 or so photos out of say 30 - 500 photos but most folders have no photos. Typically my oldest folders don't have any photos showing.
Most folders are showing a file though called ZbThumbnail.info. I think this is because I've enabled show hidden files to see if that would make a difference. From what I know this is associated with a programme called Canon Zoom Browser. I haven't installed this programme since upgrading to Windows 7.
I've tried using EASEUS photo recovery of the C drive and the storage drive to recover the photos but have had no luck. This programme has worked in the past for me with flash cards.
I've tried searching for answers throughout the web and can't come up with much.
Anyone have any suggestions?
