Malicious Erasing of ALL my files-Help

My files and file folders have been erased in Win2000 professional-and defragged.

I tried Iola and it is not bringing up a certain folder that I NEED that contains four years of work and writing. A lot of the files in the folder are in notepad text-some in word. The backup CD was smashed.

What can I do? Any hope? THX

 

You may have to download a file recovery program.In your position,I would go to Google here:http://www.google.ca/ and search for a file recovery program ASAP

 

I have tried every one today that might help to recover word and text files.

Spent all day. Is there one that is specialized for word and text docs? Help, please!

My entire writing career for 4 years is GONE.

 

Have you tried www.winhex.net they have a trial one and one called Davory. Hope it works for you..let me know
