Good call. I have no idea what that means, so no, I don't recall ever doing that. That is quite strange.
I am currently using that program that Patrick suggested. There was a free download on their site. So far, I'm not sure what the difference is in the demo. With my luck, it will show me the files, but not let me recover them
*edit*
by the way, after I'm done with this, I'm going to need to format that drive and attempt to get my system back in order. The problem is I don't know what the new D: drive is! How do I remove that?
