Update
A follow up to the post below I took Hilary's advice (she is an angel as well as punny and an excellent photographer) and while the *.jpg search did not reveal them it did lead me to another of Windows processes called Recovery (I had used a free restore software without success) and lo and behold I think I got about 80% of them in the two corrupted folders. I am missing some interesting photos on people and their dogs...a new series I am compiling for myself. Still don't know where some of them went. My neighbor lost his Windows PC in a lightning storm and now swears by Linux after he built his new PC...if I only was a little smarter. OK...if only I was a LOT smarter.

So all's well (nearly) that ends well (nearly). Good to hear it wasn't a complete loss, though. I must say I've been looking for some time to get away from windows. The two snags are cost and my conservatism (for which read lack of confidence). P.S. You don't know a way of recovering images from a corrupted (in the camera) memory card do you?
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should back-up all my pictures this afternoon. I'm glad you got much of it back. That kind of thing is really discouraging.
ReplyDeleteOh good for you. I lost allllll of my pics last month, archives and everything...only a few things saved on an external drive. This was anirretrievable loss that I haven't even bee able to write about. So now I am considering signing up at mosey.com, for $4.95/month everything gets saved.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad you were able to recover most of them. So good to know. After reading your post yesterday, I finally got cracking with backing up my entire hard drive. I bought an external drive a couple of months back and have been lazy about setting it up. So thanks for that nudge. And thanks for the kind shout out. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very good news. Thanks for sharing. Is there really any security in life? We worked hard to get our old pictures scanned so they wouldn't be destroyed by acid, but now our computers eat them.
ReplyDeleteTime to back up my own computer and pictures. Amazing how it gets put off. Glad you could recover most of your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is another side to this:
ReplyDeleteFor several days now I have been unable to access your blog, in fact, ever since I commented on the 'legs' post.
Your last post appeared in my blogroll but there was no way Blogger would let me through.
"cannot find blog' was the frequent rejoinder to my efforts.
I am happy the problem seems to have resolved itself, see, I'm here!
Oh that is such good news!! Congrats!!

Glad you got you pictures back... you really need to backup more often, I'd strongly recommend a backup program like Acronis True Image Home, automated backups are the way to go!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you got most of them back. Thanks for the update. I must get busy and backup my stuff...
