Hi There,

I had a problem downloading the apple i-tunes software. While reversing a change I made I managed to locked myself out of the system. In desperation I did a disk recovery, at lease I thought it was. My understanding was that the system would be like it was when we first purchased it. However, after the restoration I still had my accounting software and data, along with the I-tunes application. However all songs are gone in addition to my docs. I knew this would happen but I was desperate to get the computer running again. Any way to get any of the songs back? Is it possible for an expert to recover them? I hear about information being recovered, how about in this case?

Please advise.

It will mainly depend on if you have overwritten the files. Here is a program I have used, FreeUndelete 2.0

Acklan,

After looking at the website I will need an external drive to put the recovered files on, correct?

Thanks for the prompt response. :whistling:

Hmm.. I alway moved them to a USB drive (Flash). I suppose you will have to. Otherwise you may overwrite your files before coping them to a different location.
