I posted on this subject a year or so ago when I discovered about 30 of my CD's of data were blank.  NOW, I have just discovered that all of my 2006 photos (plus a few other photo files) are gone off my hard drive.

  Can anyone tell me how far back those programs that retrieve lost files goes ???

Oh no! I am not sure about that? We need more of a computer person like TehBorken to help you out.

  I can't believe they're gone.  The whole year.  I have a file set up for each year from 2002 to 2008....with 12 folders for each month, in each one.  I can't imagine where or how they could have disappeared.  I have scoured through absolutely everything, in the hopes they were just accidently dragged and dropped somewhere else.  No such luck.

This is stuff right off my hard-drive Michel.  Not the CD's.  (I've given up on them)

Nope...no magnets.  Even if it were a magnet issue.....why just the one year.  Magnets have something against 2006 ?

Six IS a very magnetic number.  I should use solar numbers on my files.

Ouch! That must suck. I didn't know that it could happen to your CDs. Don't know the answer to your question but I hope you find a solution soon. Good luck, lady.

Thanks Lise.  I think they're gone gone gone.  CD's DO have a shelf life....so beware.

Michel, that's the weird thing....we have everything backed up on a portable hard-drive, and shockers of shockers.....it wasn't on there either.  Which means it's been 'missing' for over a year.  I am SO bummed out about this.
