Bummer! If they are deleted files, at this point you have probably not actually lost any of those files. Whether retrieval attempts are worthwhile has to be weighed on how important they are. If your disk is over half full and you do a lot of data churning on your harddrive, the possibility of retrieval is diminished. A lot of variables are involved. If they are deleted files, get the latest version of RECUVA by Piriform and give it a test on it's fast scan and then deep scan and see if it is worth the time. (I am keeping in mind that "lost" may mean deleted or it may mean you are just unaware of where to look for them and if the latter, try a file manager like ZTREE to view the entire disk contents and if you know even a piece of the physical name you can find the file -- or -- if you know a piece of internal data, like an address, you can find all occurrences of that.) How long any of this takes depends largely on the disk size. And, a lot of this depends on you knowing the physical file name(s). jim _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
