I formated my computer yesterday, and had prior to that looked carefully over the computer for stuff to back up. <br /> I figured I had everything, bookmarks, random files, poser runtime, everything looked ok. And I formated. <br /> <br /> Just now, I opened poser to work on a pic, and went for the folder I store all my poser savefiles. <br /> I then realised it wasn't there. <br /> I'd forgot to back it up. <br /> <br /> That was 4-5 years worth of work, carefully zipped and backed up, categorized and organized. <br /> And now it's all gone. <br /> <br /> I just wanna curl up in a corner now

Man DV.That is bad.I just can't say enough about it.Its like haveing a fire in your home and loose everything.I'm sorry to here that.I back even the least of things cause they me alot.I am very short on words except my heart goes out to you my friend. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/crybaby2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/crybaby2.gif" alt="" />

That's too bad to hear <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> .... The only way you have now is to try one of those recovery utilities, if you've not writtne over the old data you can try to save something. I think Landman is the expert... I couldn't even think of loosing my Posy's wokrs <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> ... Now I know why you were not in your bad at 2 a.m. ...

DV, i'm so sorry. Losing your work and 4-5 years of it. That's tough. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/crybaby2.gif" alt="" />

I Think now DV is sleeping... OR WORSE <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> ?

Well, to wipe a hard drive to the United States Department of Defense standards, they have to write the zeros ot the hard disk making seven unique passes to destroy every bit of data saved there. I'm sure that you can probably find some undelete software somewhere and manage to salvage most of if not all of it. I can research it for you and see what the best method is if you want DV, its up to you. I'm here to help in any way I can. Course I live closer to Guilty Pleasures then any of the rest of you, so SHE can help too dangit!!!! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_eh.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Let me know if you need anything..... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> And best of luck to you <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/icon_thumright.gif" alt="" />

I've been running a disc recovery program all night in hopes of saving something, but I've only managed to restore old, unfinished, scrapped and useless files. <br /> It's gone

Where were you running a disc recovery program all night in hopes of saving something but he or she have only managed to restore old unfinished scrapped and useless files?

Have you lost Pz3s or your characters too ? In the first case, I've a backup of all my pz3 but never used them again...

Luckily, I remembered to backup my libraries, so I got the majority of my characters saved there. <br /> Still, there's alot of stuff lost. Scenes, compositions, unfinished stuff, and saves that has in one way or another been important to me. <br /> It's been a kick to the face

Ya but what about your art on jpg or bmp.Did you manage to save some of them? <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />

These problems are never good to hear about, unless it happens to guys who write virus <br /> software and other crap. <br /> I had some problems back in January. Fortunately I didn't lose to much. <br /> Four to five years of work down the drain is like it never was there in the <br /> first place.

That's a real bastard, DV. Truly it is. <br /> <br /> I've had my office broken into in the past and my computer stolen... and all the software and with it my backup CDs. <br /> <br /> Let me tell you, that hurt. I know the pain. You do get over it, though, and get creative again. <br /> <br /> Good luck <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ah, man that's bad news. Trouble with data recovery is that it can be a bit hit and miss. What programs have you tried to recover the data?

So you understand. Good. Cool, man. Makes sense to me.
