Hello all,
Sorry for the crazy title - I'm pretty angry at technology right now, almost on the verge of wanting to go back to good old foolproof paper and pen. I ran out of disk space on my computer's first HD so I told it to move My Documents to my other drive. When I synced my HPC, it figured that the Synced files folder was empty and that it should go ahead, without prompting me, to wipe the folder off my HPC too. Now I know that I should know to backup, but Microsoft should design Async to at least prompt before wiping everything off your Synced files folder. I lost a bunch of school assignments
(luckily I'd printed most of them out
) and some Chem labs. Arrrrrggg! I'm leaving the H/PC unused for the moment, hoping that any of you can give me a hand. I want to try to recover the files that were wiped. Professionals will have you pay $500 to do it; I'm a student so you figure I don't have that money
(thank God it wasn't essential data, I've DEFINITELY learned my lesson! Daily backups from now on!!!!
). Any ideas on how to recover the data from my HPC that are cheap, relatively simple, and effective? Any help would be appreciated. I need a punching bag!!!! but I believe someone out there has some insight and if not I'll suck it up and be more careful how I backup my files. Anyways, I look forward to all replies,
God Bless,
Steve R.
