I need to know how to retreieve data that was lost on my 2month old
seagate 250 gig hddv.

I fired windos xp up one day and all the sudden b4 going in to the log
in screen a window came up that was going through a list deleting all
my music files (50gigs worth)and even worse some VERY IMPORTANT
documents that i need ASAP back so i don't have to redo a very entense
amount of work.

If anyone knows of any programs that will work or things i could try i
will pay upon recovery of lost data.

If you need anymore details let me know

Try an evaluation version of this program http://recover4all.com/ or
this is freeware http://www.woundedmoon.org/win32/driverescue19d.html

I tried to recover with those programs and what i did find wouldn't
work when the program pulled up...

sorry 

Thanks
