Situation is my friend had a 4 gb photos on the desktop... windows xp... and one day just something happened and the system didn`t load even in safe mode... Then he installed new windows xp on the D: ... All photos went green (encrypted) ... The question is how to get back them, its extremely important because all photos are only digital and some of them are from 1980+ scanned. Thanks

Hi there.

I have found ** Easeus Data Recovery Wizard Professional** To be about the best available.

There are other cheaper and also free versions of file recovery software available (with these expect the recovered files to be scattered, and in no particular order at times.)

**RECUVA**

*** See Here For More File Recovery Software ***

Can you see the C:/ drive, on which your Windows XP operating system was installed previously? If the drive is invisible and inaccessible, there could be some file system corruption and volume corruption like issues.

Try running the Chkdsk.exe utility on the affected partition.

If it can not help, you can try using a professional windows data recovery software like Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery (which worked great for me when i faced somewhat similar problem) and then reformat the partition.

Before reformatting the drive and reinstalling windows operating system, make sure that you have a complete backup of your data.
