Hey guys - wanted to make my computer run faster so I decided to buy an 8gb flash and transfer all B & B pics and vids to it...... then delete them off my computer. Well - I dragged them to the flash, they disappeared from desktop (folders and all) and now I can't see them in the Flash Drive! All my pics! All my Vids! Are they gone?!?!?!?

Have you tried to restart your computer?

Have you looked in the recycle bin for them? Are you going to start menu>computer>removable disk (J) with the flash drive inserted? You know you have to properly eject the flash drive before pulling it out on some computers or you can loose the content?

take your comp and set it back to the day before you did this and it will restore all your stuff

I did look in recycle bin - thats a negative. The removable storage drive offers a few folders to look in - pics, docs, vids, etc. but a very little actually ended up in the area that says "recently changed"????????

Right Click Desktop > Refresh...

Remove USB Drive > Re-Plug USB

Search .JPG .JPEG .AVI .WMV file extensions for the "lost folder"

I think I have found the issue - I think lol! Thanx for the replies - I was and still am sort of freaking out..... but calming down now. 2 and a half years of raw pics and videos out the window instantly is a scarey thought. Thanx for all your help guys, and I will see in the morning what transpires!
