| Ok, I was seperating the files I like from the rest of the shoot. I use Zoombrowser. I made a 2nd folder to put my good shots in. I was in the middle of dragging a file into the new folder when all of a sudden my new folder was empty. I had about 10 files in it. I did a search for the file number and nothing. I looked in the recycling bin nothing. They just f%*$& vanished. Any ideas would help. Thanks. |

| Perhaps you put them in a different/near-by folder? |

Or inadvertently dropped them on the desktop? I know I would probably never see them if they went there. :)
I know that Norton has an undelete wizard with the protected recycle bin. . . That may help if you have it. There are also a number of free (or shareware) file recovery tools available on the web. Do a search for file recovery software.
I know, probably not much help, but I wish you luck in finding them. |

| Have you tried doing an "advanced search" which checks in hidden folders and such? |

| I've had something like that happen to me quite often. Just check the nearby folders. Hopefully that will fix everything. If not...my condolences. |

What type of computer operating system are you using? (eg: Windows XP Home / Mac OS X?)

first do a wildcard search for themn.
If you don't know what I mean go to search and type in "*.jpg"
if they were jpeg files. Putting the * there is kinda like a wildcard. It will find any file with the extension of .jpg on your computer.
If that doesn't work try this program:
//www.snapfiles.com/get/smartrecovery.html
this program is free and can be found at //www.snapfiles.com
whihc is the website that should be in everyone's bookmarks.

I definetly suggest "FILE SCAVENGER."
It saved my life, and a job. |

| Did you try searching by one of the missing file names to see if it would show up? |

| Have you shot a full card since? You can still recover some of them off the card if you haven't shot over them, even if you formatted it. |
