Most of those tracks are on youtube. Once you have the youtube url, type it into http://www.listentoyoutube.com and it will transfer the video to audio mp3. It’s a very useful site. Whatever you don’t find, let me know.

To get you started… SWT (demo):

I have just managed to wipe everything off my work laptop except for documents thsat I’ve looked at in the past few days. Which given that it had some photos of friends I’m no longer in touch with, is a right bugger. Won;t know if I can get any of it back until a week today :-(

Doubt you’ve actually wiped them CE unless you’ve formatted the drive, but they may be bloody hard (and therefore expensive) to get to!

Not wishing to patronise CE but i take it you are NOT still using said hard drive? as a general rule when you delete something all you are doing is making it available as blocks to be written over on the HD, so if you continue to use it you may overwrite the data you want to recover. Asked a mate who’s into computing and he reckons people have recovered data from drives that have been hit with hammers so here’s to hoping.

It’s computers, you can’t patronise me, I know nothing.

Seriously though, everything on the laptop gets synchronised with the office when we’re in the office, I’m currently out of the office so I’m hoping that if I save eveything I’m doing now onto a memory stick, next time I go into the office they can restore everything that was there last Friday. Possibly. Otherwise it’s goodbye to all those photos that I didn’t copy because I didin’t want there to be copies that could fall into the wrong hads… ahem.

The bugger is that the only stuff that should be here is work and that’s the only stuff that I know I have copies of, meh!

About a year ago my home PC got a virus and wouldn’t boot up, I had loads of films and music on it but I didn’t care about those I was really worried about all the pics and videos I had of my family, friends and now ex-gf but thankfully a friend of a friend was able to recover them for me. I hope you get you pics back, I still remember the ‘oh shit’ feeling I had when I thought i’d lost them all forever. I now back everything up on an external hard drive.

You can download free/trial software to recover ‘lost’ files yourself. I’ll have a look what program I used last when I get home.

if you’ve got the patience to wait about 6 years, i tried it on like a 200gb hard drive a few years ago, let it run all night and it got to about 1%.

luckily i have cable internet now so its quicker to download anything i havent got backed up, its actually quicker and easier to download an album ive got on cd than go to my shelf and rip it myself, only time i rip my cds is when its something i cant find on the net anywhere, or when i go through one of my phases of wanting all my music in flac

My mum deleted a bunch of photo’s from her laptop a couple of years ago and I managed to get nearly all of them back.

Nearly always fuck-off slow with data recovery, go too fast and the drive tends to crash, but even so that is very slow.
