Most of the time when I leave my computer on and running, I lock it just before I walk away.  We have little children and a pet cat, so I don’t want anyone to push the wrong set of buttons and ruin my computer.

I hope you noticed I said most of the time.

You see, yesterday I made the mistake of not locking my computer.  The result of that is my cat decided to walk on the keyboard, and I lost pretty much everything.  Now, don’t ask me how a cat can delete data, but somehow she did it.

I tried the Photo Recovery Software I had on hand, and it didn’t work.  Same goes with the Recovery My Files Software that didn’t work either.

In desperation, I have taken it down to the local computer repair store where they will use their hard drive data recovery software, and hopefully they will be able to recover my data.  If I end up losing everything, I just don’t know what I will do.
