files must be somewhere!!!

I had a major BIOS & HD breakdown-so off to the shop and a few dollars latter a new mother board, one new HD but worst of all ALL my data which was on both *c:/ drive and the old broken drive had gone. This was not realised will I switched on and found My Documents which I store everything in, was ****** new, also MS Outlook contacts was blank too.

Now for the interesting part - I was filling in a form to send info to 'friends' and low and behold the software found Outlook addresses in the C drive, which had apparently been 'lost' -question will this recovery program find them too. what file extension should I search for - My Documents and MS Outlook v7.
*was backing up before going to bed, when the glitch/breakdown occurred

Thank Peta kenchington

Is the old hard drive now connected as a secondary drive?

Please follow the instructions in this post:

and run the search on the "physical" drive (your C: drive is on 0physical, so the problem drive will be 1physical [or a higher number]).

Thank you.
