Also please do not post to newsgroups in ALL CAPS.
ALL CAPS is considered shouting and rude.

I can see why you were hacked (if you were an you didn't just delete the
files yourself..)

First - why do you think you were hacked?
Second - we have no way of knowing how the files were erased if you were
hacked.

You might try "Restoration":

Forgive me if it seemed sarcastic and yes, you are right...I did screw up. The files weren't that important I guess. They were just some writings of my son that went bye-bye with Leukemia 2 years ago.

Not that smart. Besides, when I went in to start, all programs, accessories, system tools where I was directed for back-up it wasn't there. I have now backed it all up on CDs (for the time being). Thanks
