Default Drive erased!! please help.

I installed a glidden paint cd. Where you can pick out paint colors for your house etc.. I installed it on my slave drive(D). I keep all my music and pictures on this drive, and thats about it. I decided to uninstall this painting program. I went to add/remove programs. I removed the program, i believe it was color@home. It took a while to uninstall, which was unusual. when it was done. Everything on the drive was gone. all pictures and music around 10gb's total. everything we had. I havent backed it up in a while either. Im lost and freaked out. Tried system restore, didnt work. The computer is now at a computer techs shop. Is there a way to retrieve the lost pictures and music?

Please help.

Thank you
Mike

Greetings,

You can really use Active@ undelete utility to restore erased data. This tool works really great and it never ever failed me before! Really recommended utility.

For DOS restoration Uneraser plays it really cool.

most likely the hacks at the repaor shop will just reformat the drive. Your pics are are in heaven.

It's not worth your money to resotre any of your data I'm willing to say they are gone for good.
