Create a new user and restore the pictures from your backups. No backups? Then you would need to use data recovery software.DO NOTHING FURTHER ON THE DRIVE . The data is still on the hard drive but if you overwrite it, it will be extremely difficult or impossible to recover it. If you use data recovery software, install it on another machine and either use it from that operating system or create a bootable cd/floppy and work with that. If you don't have the skill and/or equipment to do these procedures and the data is crucial, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop that has experience in doing data recovery. This will not be a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place. In-shop data recovery is usually not exactly cheap (for example, my charges are generally $150-350USD), but it normally costs less than sending the drive to a company likeDrive Savers . You need to make the determination of the value of your data and decide what to do.R-Studio - http://www.r-tt.com/Recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva Restoration - http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html PCInspector File Recovery - http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/welcome.htm Executive Software “Undelete” - http://www.undelete.com/undelete/undelete.asp GetDataBack - http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htmAnd for future disaster recovery strategies - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_UpMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
