Not enough info. Is the drive still recognised by the bios?

Re: Photo restore
That's a good start. Piriform's Recuva is worth a try.
http://www.piriform.com/recuva

That's quite a good freebie. For most of my recovery work I use a program called iCare Data Recovery but that's not free. Unfortunately with data recovery software it's very much a case of getting what you pay for.

Testdisk is also good but it's command line only. No pretty interface.

I've not tried this but it's probably worth a look. Formerly paid software but currently free.

Probably don't need to warn you but just in case. Don't install the programs on the same disk you are trying to recover as there's a good chance it'll overwrite stuff.

Grabbed. Thanks. One can never have too many file recovery programs.

Thanks so much from what she tells me now, it's not as bad as it seems.. boots to Windows and desktop just wants these photos "saving"
