If you haven't emptied the Recycle Bin folder, they may still be in there. Right click the Recycle Bin and select explore. If they're in there right click the folder and select restore. That will put them back to where they were before you deleted them. On 12/16/2013 12:11 PM, Ann Sanfedele

When the chip failed in your lens, did you see this type of a fluctuation? My SDM failure was a motor, as in it wouldn't focus automatically. It was the 16-50mm DA*. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: Igor Roshchin

Ann, if you defragged the disk, the files are now pretty much unrecoverable. While some of the space used by the files may not have been overwritten, the directory structures have all been rewritten. Anything left will most likely be recoverable only as fragments. On 12/16/2013 7:30 PM, Ann
