Lost Digital Pics

[BarbaraJean]

I transfered some pictures from my memory stick to my hard drive and then saved them a disc to take to Wal-Mart to print. I have my printed copy but can't find them on my PC. If I deleted them is there any way I can get them back?

Check in your recycle bin. That's your best bet. There is software that can recover deleted files, but it's best if you run it right away (within hours if not minutes) and it's often very technical and/or expensive so it's not a good bet.

I would bet that the files are .jpg format. Try searching your hard drive with the generic search engine (in windows explorer) and search either for ".jpg" or for files of that specific type (picture files). I'll bet if they're not in your recycle bin, you'll find them in some back corner of your computer using that search method.
