I was transfering some pictures from my hardrive to my external hard drive when suddenly all the photos on my computer deleted themselves. I checked my recycle bin and that deleted itself as well! Im gutted as all my pictures from Tiger meet have gone I believe. Does anyone know if maybe everything has moved to another area on my harddrive, why the computer did this and if there is any chance of recovery?

Assuming that you know at least one of the filenames of your lost files, search for them first that way.
You should be able to restore the Re-cycle bin by opening screen properties/Desktop/Customise Desktop and restore your Re-cycle Bin icon - the re-cycle bin probably hasn't been physically deleted. You should find your files there.

Screen properties are found by right clicking on your desktop, but your last post rather bypasses that.
I find it hard to think that all of your files have disappeared, but where to? I take it that they didn't copy to your external hard drive. There is another option, that's the rescue software supplied by Sandisk with some of their CF cards, it should be able to recover the lost files from your hard drive. If you don't have a copy or find any other solution to the problem drop me a PM, should be able to e-mail it to you.
