“Actually I’m running Windows 7 64bit.”
!! So am I, but your CHKDSK output looks different than mine.
Ok, at this point, I’m out of ideas. :-( Find a professional recovery service and have them recover your photos. It may be expensive but I think Aaron is worth it.
Sorry.
One last idea, actually two.
- Do an image backup of the drive. Especially before sending it out but also before doing anything that writes to the drive.
I suggest RunTimes DriveImage XML. It is free and I trust it.
- Once backed up try running a recovery app to see if it can see your files and possibly recover them. There are dozens on the 'net that will scan your drive and may find your files but then charge you to recover them. I’ve used TouchStone’s Undelete_Plus and photerec_win.exe from whom I don’t remember and Restoration from here http://download.cnet.com/Restoration/3000-2094_4-10322950.html . Try one or more just to see if they see Aaron’s folder before doing anything else.
