i recently looded a program that i got off here called evidence eliminator and it encountered an error and wiped required windows files although i dont know what, i had to reinstall windows as it was not starting up just coming to a black cmnd screen with some notes and a down arrow and when i did reinstall it said it needed to re-format the pattition space or something.. everything is gone including 3 yrs of uni work.. is there anyway to retrieve this info or is it lost forever give it to me straight

When I had some HD problems once, I just added a 2nd HD. Then, I moved everything over from the old to the new. Depends if you reformatted. If you did, what you had is gone.

You still should be able to recover most of your files as long as you havent reformatted your hard drive yet. There are progs out there on the market that will help you recover them or bite the bullet and take it to a repair shop and have them do it for you.

gauging from what you wrote ...
i would take it that you are not real hip on comps ... if you have done a "total" format you're pretty much hosed , but not entirely .

take the machine/drive to a reputable comp shop or guru ... explain what you did and so forth . they should tell you that "all the bets are off" , however , they should be able to retrieve some of your information . if they cannot do what you require they should be able to point you toward someone who can .

can we say "forensic software" , boys and girls ?


ps ... i just read your post in another thread here . caveat emptor .
