Lost photos

I am amazingly calm.

Calm for a person who has lost almost 40gb photographs of a trip to South America and South Africa.

Last night, I used the “Eject hardware safely” icon on the taskbar and pulled out the USB cable of the hard disk.

This morning, I plug it back in, reboot and guess what, except for four folders, ALL the other folders had become non-folders.

Non-folders? They were 64kb files of nothing.

Lost folders

The drive was supposed to hold hundreds of folders, sorted by date, each containing original photos of my trip.

I can see that the hard disk still looks full. I’m convinced the data is there. Somewhere.
I’m going to run chkdsk. And see how it goes.
