Any computer techs out there?

The crazy drive went from NTFS to FAT to RAW. I used File Scavenger to salvage my pictures, the drive is now in the trash! I hate stuff like this, it gives me a headache.

Glad you got the pics back! Let me know if you still need help. Hopefully, you stomped on the drive before throwing it away...lol

FWIW, you should definitely invest in an offsite backup agent, like backblaze, carbonite, or mozy. I believe they are all $5/mo for unlimited storage, at least backblaze is, that's what I use. That way if the computer breaks, burns, or gets stolen, you still have all your data. I'd be screwed if I lost all my data.

I did get all of my pictures back, unfortunately I also acquired Beelzebub on my computer in the form of a file that could not be cast out (filename too long, can't delete, blah, blah, blah). After spending some quality time with command prompt I finally dug my way to the file and exorcised it with the del command.

I hate Windows. It shouldn't be this hard to get rid of a file I Do Not Want.
