Stating the obvious here I expect, but you have checked the 'Recycle bin' of your PC?

Also iirc some utilities packages like Norton Systemworks (?) have quite good applications for undeleting / recovering lost files. May well be worth a try.

A couple of computing websites you could try (they may well let you post a question like you have on this forum, you'd have to visit the sites and check) are:

http://hardwarehell.com/index.shtml

http://www.opentechsupport.net/

Finally, typing 'file undelete recovery' into Google turns up a pile of results, many of which look like they might help. Good luck!

The watchword here has to be 'back-up'! I lost 2 years worth of irreplaceable digital photos when they were corrupted during a data transfer, so have made a point of keeping them constantly backed up.

On the plus side there are programs as Ripster mentioned, some being available for free download or else as reasonably-priced shareware.
