Hi

I used the disk clean up utility and clicked clean the catalog files. In
doing so this deleted everything off that particular drive! all my media is
gone. The directory tree still extist, with no files. I have tried system
restore, nil luck. I have also tried various file recovery programs, and
recovered prior deleted information but not the files in relation to the
catalog.....help

Any suggestions recoverying this information.

Cheers

Don't use your computer until your ready to retrieve the data, or it
may become overwritten.

Lots of software for getting deleted files back, one link:

If you have Norton installed, it used to come with a small file called
unerase.exe that work's very well.
