    Help! My HDD got deleted.

    I was just on the internet and suddenly I see that my whole HDD got deleted... all my games/software... every fucking thing except my Different drive with Windows on it. Is there any way to restore this or am I literally fucked?

    If you're on Windows 7, try going into Computer and right clicking on the drive and clicking Restore previous versions. Shadow copy is pretty awesome.

    I find it hard to believe you would come to this thread and just troll, I seriously have no fucking patience for braindead idiots like you. If you want to help, then help. If you want to flame, get the hell out of here.

    Oh damnit I forgot - it's turned off by default on other drives than your installation drive. OK well in that case, you should probably start looking at something like this.

    How is possible to accidentally delete all the hdd without knowing?
    Edit: I agree with Harry Botter
    Later Edit: There are some software that will recover deleted info on HDD

    The problem is,you have to search them as a pirate.
    I cannot help you since I'm not allowed giving site names or torrents of such thing on these forums

    Wasn't a virus. And I only insulted him because he comes to a thread and just trolls in it. I mean seriously, I'm asking for advice not critisizm. I'm not surprised though... this is the internet afterall.

    I'm pretty sure it was a virus, HDD's don't usually just delete everything on them by default.

    Maybe instead of being defensive and aggressive, be open to suggestions. Considering right now it comes down to how the hell it happened so you can go about fixing it.

    Yeah, sorry for being aggressive. I'm just a bit pissed. I'll try think positive, at least it deleted a bunch of crap that I had there.

    No, don't help him, he wants to fight all of us instead of asking us how to easily restore all his game files. let him be.
