All Gone

If you haven't written over the hard drive areas that stored the music you should be able to recover them hopefully. Only the file headers will have been deleted with any luck. There are a few products on the market that can recover lost data I'm sure.. Have a look around the net, there may be something that will work.

Let me know if I can post anything for you.

Janet, stay on The Ledge.

I'm going to pm you a way to hopefully recover these files without software but it will take me a few minutes to type it out in laymans terms.

Not moving. And thank you for understanding the need for laymen's terms. Are there terms even less than laymen?

My new friend madformac tried to help me, but to no avail. So, I am going to start from scratch and start collecting again. I'm telling myself this may be fun. So what I was thinking was- maybe everyone can post their favorite Mp3 or video here. And maybe some newbies can benefit from this as well. Thanks to everyone and especially madformac for trying so hard to help.

that's what I was going to say.

Jannie, I'm so sorry. this has happened to me before and now I have an external hard drive. I would call a repair shop and see what they suggest and then if all is lost, we will figure a way to get your collection back up. I could send you my external hard drive to load on your computer and then send back to me. we'll figure it out. PM me if you need to.
