My hardrive is split into 3 drives:

1. Windows/Program files
2. Video/Music/Business files storage
3. Other files storage (old documents)

I installed a program (Metacafe Pro) that downloads videos from a website (Metacafe.com). In the options menu of this program, when I changed the destination folder(for the downloaded videos) from the #1 drive (Program files) to the #2 drive (Video, Business, etc), the hardrive made a sound , and the settings were changed. However, when I went to access my folders for drive #2, apparently ALL THE INFO WAS GONE! FOLDERS and FILES! I tried system restore, but it just restored the empty folders that used to be there!

SOMEBODY plz help ASAP! I have a lot of important files on the drive!

IS there any way of getting the files back???

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Does the drive/that partition still work? Can you still write stuff to it? Does windows show there's any data on there(right-click > Properties > how much space is being used?

Click to expand...

yes the partition still works. I checked, but windows shows that there's about 250mb being used out of a total of 40gb of the partition. (before the incident over half of the partition was used)
 
Hopefully the files are still there but the boot section has become corrupted. Google "free undelete" and download and run this program, it will attempt to recover your files if they have not been overwritten.
 
Yeah, about all you can do is hope some undelete program might work... If the space doesn't show up, there's not much else you can do, I'm afraid.
