I had mentioned a little while back how I managed to have problems with a Linux computer I own - and how I managed to lose the data on it.  Well, history has repeated itself, but this time, it is my Windows based notebook that is the problem.

I don’t know what happened, but the computer was working perfectly one day, and then the next day all my data was gone.  All I could do is feel the stress and frustration rising - things were not supposed to turn out this way.

But I had a plan.

Since I had the mishap last time, I had purchased some of the best data recovery software on the market just in case something like this happened again.  I had passed on just getting photo recovery software and instead purchased Recovery My Files, a full fledged data recovery software package.

It was as simple as installing the software and running the wizard - the software did the rest.  I am happy to report I was able to restore everything - but I think I will make a backup this time just in case it happens again.
