| | Lost files Hi I have a Toshiba laptop running Vista. Recently an entire directory was wiped out. Tried recycle bin and some online tools to retrieve lost files (they have .pdf and .doc extensions). Nothing worked. Can anyone please suggest my options other than losing the files forever? Thanks |
