    Ok let me be the first to say that I am an idiot.

    Last night I was cleaning up .avi files on my laptop. I ran a search looking for .avi files that I no longer needed HOWEVER I had my HD plugged in at the same time.

    The search picked up all the .avi files on my HD (over 100 movies) and I deleted without noticing. To make matters worse I also emptied the trash bin on my laptop.

    So over 100 movies wiped out...... Is there any way I can get them back?? I’m not a computer wizz kid (clearly)......... Please help!!!

    Oh and Im Vista!

    Yes. All the .avi files were in seperate folders on the HD. The folders are still on the HD minus the movie files.
