so, how were your files organised? unless someone did shift-del on your directories, it is hard to imagine how exactly they were lost--in all likely hood, majority of the data is still there; you just lost the pointer to them  |

Why do you think the net was born?
Porn! Porn! Porn!
Only 30 GB of porn? LIGHTWEIGHT.  (Uh, you did recover at least some of what was lost, right?) |

Funny thing about that. My porn and emulators (30gb total) were the only files I didn't lose. |

damn... that's 375% the size of my disk, and 1153% of my own data files (excl. OS) 
Was it the removable hard disk that got lost/stolen? If it's just a format/delete problem, those can be easily fixed.... it's super-easy to recover files and the whole filesystem when you use FAT, I dunno about HH's mentioned program, I use ntfsundelete, which probably doesn't have a version for Windows. |

Dang, that would have been 220% of my Hardrive.  |

Ouch. What happened? If you used NTFS, you might be able to recover them using RStudio. It worked when I accidentally created an EXT3 filesystem over mine. (NTFS keeps backups of the filesystem, which pwns.) |

I take it this has something to do with that 180GB removable HD you were telling me about? |

backups would have helped but it's after the fact now...
anyways, this failure is probably an act of god type of thing...my condolences |

Corruption? File system gone screwy on a partition? HD crash? Damn that sucks. I would panic if that happened to me.
Luckily I have a backup... somewhere.  |

Um... what did you / your hardware / the OS do? o.o
That's a lot of stuff to lose, something must've happened.... |
