Years of pictures potentially gone forever!!

We got a virus through facebook and it wiped out our hard drive. All those years of pictures may be gone forever. I am so sad. I have been crying all day. Not only that but videos, and all other files.Chat Icon

Re: Years of pictures potentially gone forever!!

Don't lose hope - for the first time EVER this year my computer had TWO viruses! Both times I was hysterical - one time my computer wouldn't even turn on and the other time it was literally taken over by someone else (the screen saver was changed and everything) - anyway, i was (with the help of a computer expert) able to recover the files THANK GOD - so it might be ok - take it somewhere fast and don't take no for an answer!

Chat Icon that stinks but i hope you find a way to recover them! if you have pics on shutterfly i believe there is a way to have them burn a CD of all your pictures for a small fee

I lost all of my pictures once, pre baby but a lot of good memories. I wouldn't just give up though, you'd be suprised what professionals can save from computers. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Ours crashed last year. It wouldn't even turn on. But the guy who rebuilt it was able to save everything.
Don't give up hope. They may be able to save it for you.

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon This is a huge fear of mine. When I was having computer trouble (I ended up needing a new hard drive in my laptop) I bought an external hard drive at costco. I am now religious about backing up. I hope you can recover what seems to be gone. Get an external hard-drive regardless. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

warning....I bought an external harddrive too and that FAILED. I can't even turn it on anymore! I would have to send it out to recover the info/pics, but I will not send my personal info out in the mail like that. So now all the info is as good as gone.

Just an FYI

Re: Years of pictures potentially gone forever!!

You might want to try taking your computer to best buy to see if they can get them for you. When mine crashed i brought it up there i think it was 100-150 to get them to recover them and I also bought an external hard drive to have them back them up on. But for me the price was so worth getting back the years of memories.
