Need help regarding pc crash??
Our laptop crashed, restored and running but appears pics are lost. Is there any way they can be found?

Thanks

Backing up files is a virtue.

Take them again. If they're old pictures, hire younger models of yourselves for the reenactments.

Do you know why it crashed?

If the pics were lost perhaps it was a hard drive failure. If that is the case it may be nearly impossible to recover unless you want to spend a lot of money

Maybe whatever happened messed up indexing and the pics are essentially deleted. If that is the case then don't do anything with the PC

Don't save or install anything. Get a program for recovering and restoring deleted files. You can use these to restore most deleted files. Some will be corrupted though

Online services are ok, except they are limited by having an internet connection

There are a lot of programs one can use to find deleted files. I never heard of that one but that does not mean it's not good

The best way, other than the online method, is to buy an external hard drive

Oh, the reason for not doing anything on the PC in question is if the pics are deleted you can end up writing over them and they will be lost

RW knows a lot about the subject so I'd trust this program
