Hey r3aps,
If your using XP try this, XP should be automatically configured to run System Restore.. this can be checked by going to controll panel then system and checking system restore, if this had been running and it should have been unless specifically turned off, this might save your pics.
Now all you need to do is go to
start menue then to
show all programs, then to
accessories tab, this should bring up some more options, look for
system tools tab peer over this until new menus slides out the at the bottom end of this should be
system restore, double click on this.....
Follow this restore wizard, and it take you through the options, XP was designed to periodically save your system confige at regular intervals.
Pick at date prior to losing all your pics when it asks for this.
The system should then restore the old windows config from this date, meaning all pics and data saved at this point in time should be returned.
After running through wizard, system will automatically reboot, and once it has fully restarted, (fingures crossed) all shoud be good.
If you haven't tried this give it ago, can't promise it will work for you, but it has saved my ass in the past....
Good Luck
Just realised that djaust has said the same thing... sorry for the double up
