PLEASE HELP! I've lost loads of music on my pc :(

[tommyboy]

Yesterday, windows media player 10 crashed on me whilst I was doing a windows update, I had roughly 8.5GB in there and after it stopped crashing, it said it had not been closed properly and had been corrupted. :dapprove:

Worst thing being that once I re-opened the player I noticed my library loaded to 2.5GB worth of music files... :S I thought they'll just be in their containing folders so went to them in my documents > then downloads and F**K! The album folders are still there but in each folder there is now only 3-4 songs on each album. I checked recycle bin but they weren't in there.

I also did a system restore to it's checkpoint on friday but NO LUCK.

If someone has any idea how I can get my music back I would be over the moon.

Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help.

hmmmmm.

i have had this happen to me but in nero, all my albums ended up in ther recycle folder there, but never got them back.

best think i can advise is to use a un-erase wizard program to try and bring them back that way.

hmmmm....odd. A system restore will only put back the registry not the files.

I would suggest using a program called GETDATABACK for NTFS and scan the folder were your music was. Will hopefully work

Im using File Recover right now and it's scanning clusters for previously deleted files, you can toggle between quick scan and deep through system. All is well so far it's found loads of mp3 files, I think I may be getting my music back! I hope so anyway
