I was working on my computer last night and decided to reboot.
After I rebooted, Win XP told me that one of my drives needed to be checked for consistency, so I let it do that.
While it was doing that, I got the message that the index entry for MYDOCU~ was deleted. Imagine my surprise then. After Win XP was done loading, I tried to access the folder "My Documents" and it's gone!
It's not in the recycle bin and not where it normally is either. I did a search for it and nothing. (Now I'm really panicking, because my work is all in it)
I thought ok... maybe it's gone... so I take a look at my free diskspace and it hasn't increased at all. It should have because I have more than 15 gigs of data in My Documents.
Does anyone have any idea how I can recover my poor lost data??
I run WinXP Home Edition on a 1.8 Ghz machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh. I patched my PC and even installed the whole shebang of patches from Windows Update.
