I go along with the suggestion by "Pegasus (MVP)"

"Buy an external USB case for a 2.5" disk, then connect this disk to some other computer and try some data recovery software."

In case it seems confusing, you need to take the hard drive out of your laptop and put it in a 2.5" external USB case (your hard drive size). Then you connect it up via the USB cable to another computer running XP (Pro preferably), especially if you have made any folders and files private so you can gain ownership over them if necessary. Then simply navigate to the files (- important images ) that you are after and copy them to the other computer and then save them to a USB memory stick if you need to use them or transport them somewhere else.

If your images can't be found then it may be necessary to use data recovery software or to contact a data recovery company, but either way it is not cheap.

I have used EasyRecovery™ Professional to excellent results

There are no worthwhile 'free' programs available that will do the job - forget the hype.

Any that suggest a trial version may show you that certain files are recoverable but you won't be able to recover them unless you hand over the cash first so be aware of that.

I'd go for the 2.5" external USB case suggestion to start with.

Good Luck
