I have been downloading pictures from my digital camera for a couple of years. All of a SUDDEN they have disappeared! Does that mean they are gone forever, or are they STILL in my hard drive somewhere that can be retrieved?

Thanks for any advice given.
DEVANSAre you sure they're gone?
Or do you just not know where they are?
Do we get a clue as to the OS INVOLVED?Might be an IDEA to download a little program called picasa2 . this will instantly find all your pictures on your hard drive. you can get it from here.  http://google.picasa.com/

Its a free program and is a really good program to have anyway to manage your pictures.Start / Find and type in *.jpg and hit Enter....

What results does this yield ? ?Now the original poster is as lost as her pictures.  There's a lot of that going around . . .Not necessarily a bad thing.  dl65,

Not necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure you just KIDDING !

I have always wondered after loosing a fairly large file from my RC Smart Fax 2000 of drawings if they are out there some where, where I might be able to retreive them like the FBI does.

Do you think that the same retreival capabilities exist for this case as does in previous post for this subject, i.e., . .
