Re: lost 14yrs worth of photos
Nice happy ending!
I schedule monthly back ups of my photos. I keep additional DVDs off site as well.
We suffered a break in (when living in Balham) back in 2005 and the feckers made off with our PC and 6 month's of travel snaps. Luckily I had uploaded my best shots to an online site, but still hurt like heck.
Even worse - I was 90% of the way through GTA Vice City and my PS2 was nicked, along with the save game
Took me months to get that far......

Re: lost 14yrs worth of photos
I'm just glad I could help out.
For everyone's benefit though.........
IF you have a hard drive problem, stop using it immediately, as anything you do and save may overwrite the lost files.
The program I used this time, "datarecovery wizard pro" really does all the work and is really easy for the non computer literate to use
- just remember NOT to save the recovered files to the hard drive you are having problems with (for the reason above).
