1. The important thing if you are going to recover files is to stop using the machine. Every minute you continue using the machine increases the chance that the spaces on the disk where the deleted files are will be overwritten with other data. You can try various software to see if the files can be recovered DataRescue http://www.prosofteng.com/ ActiveUndelete http://www.active-undelete.com/ PCTools FileRecover http://www.pctools.com/file-recover Recuva (free): http://www.recuva.com/ There are some websites that have tools you can try, and then if it looks like it can recover some data, you have to pay to do the recovery VirtualLab http://www.binarybiz.com/
