Go to the recycle bin on the desktop and reinstate the deleted files.

If you don't know which they are then just reinstate them all!

I think there's a couple of data recovery progs on UBCD4W (ultimate boot cd for windows).
Hope it helps.

Recover my files is good if you simply Deleted them but I cant remember if it actually get the files back as they were like "Example.mp3" or its just DAT's.

If you want them back inc correct file names and DIR location use File Scavenger but its a bit stonger and aimed at recovering total wipe jobs like a HDD claiming its RAW after a Mobo fries etc (happened to me).
