My computer died and he fixed it. i lost all my files...
I just wanted you to know that there is software out there, some of it free, that will recover the files on your hard drive that Windows is telling you aren't there. They are all hiding in folders that should be called chk0001 through however many folders it created when Windows did the check disk routine.
I just went through the same thing last fall. I was working in a folder on my storage drive, when all of a sudden I got a message box saying the directory was corrupted and unreadable. I lost about 80 gigs of files, but the software I bought recovered about 79 gigs. So if you had anything really important on there, you can get it back, if you want it. Good luck!
