First you could try to retrieve the data with specialized software. I am not sure if there is a good freeware available though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a few naked videos and pics when i was in my photo taking days,all over 18!!is there any danger of the repair guy calling the police for some scare money?? i lost a lot of photos of previous trips,but luckily i had backed some up on disc. but i still have no records of certain trips which is really annoying. the question of the police getting involved reminds me of 2 visits i had from them a few years ago. 2 detectives came round my house and declared they were from the child pornography team and told me they had evidence of pictures on my hard-drive. as it was i had bought a new computer a couple of months earlier and still had the old one and they were welcome to take it away and investigate it,after all i had nothing to hide. they took it away and a few weeks later returned it and apologised for any trouble which might have been caused. it seems they had caught some people driving around the area and hacking into the broadband accounts of many people and downloading pix/videos. many people,like myself had no idea this was happening and were all innocent.
