Re: All files gone from my user account!!!

Didn't you post the same thing five minutes earlier?

If you had made a BACKUP of your data, you could have RESTORED you DATA.

Lesson learned. Backup your data because your hard drive could fail at any
time. Think about this. Each time you power up your PC, you could have a
hard drive crash.

:mad: :mad: Alright, so I am in deep trouble. All of the folders on my
user account are gone and Vista reverted everything like my account was
just created. I lost all of my files and everything else I have had. Its
all been deleted!!!!!

It started this morning when I logged in and everything off of my
desktop was gone. All of the files and everything. I don't know what
happened, I didn't delete the account or make a new one or anything.

All I know is that my brother, the idiot was stupidly going through my
files from his user account (through Computer/Users), since he was
stupidly made an admin, and he was deleting some files off of my user
account. I'm not sure what it was but it must have been something he
deleted that messed up everything! I still see some of the items in my
garbage can of stuff that might have been deleted by the moron. The
other user accounts are fine, its just mine that is missing everything
and acting like its a brand new account. :mad: I don't know what he
deleted but I know he didn't do a complete wipeout of my account. I
still have a feeling that my files are somewhere because the hard drive
is still the same size.

I need help and a way to bring my files back. I know that they should
still be on the hard drive because the hard drive itself is huge and its
still the same size as it was and there are some files in my recycle
bin, so I am hoping that there is some way to fix this or I am going to
be pissed when I see him :mad: . All of my work and school files were on
this user name and he just had to go poking his dumb face through it.
Please help me with this, this is a life and death situation, more for
me than it is for him. If I cant get any of my files back I dont know
what I'll do. Please help me with this.
