Hope you can get them back Esther. I always back mine up onto a portable hard drive after I've put them on the laptop as I'd be heartbroken if I lost them.

I hope you get it back Esther, personally I'd rather lose work files than photos. But if you can still use the computer (hasn't died completely) there's a good chance you can still get them back.

hope you have some luck Esther, we had the same problem on our last computer, but luckily the guy managed to transfer them from the old hard disc

Have you no back-up Esther? We all agree the photos are so important. I too have an ext HD but I use 'cloud' too, called 'Livedrive' from Dixons/PC World

I think that is what Paul is going to get me Merlin Sometimes it's just that you've accidentally 'moved' stuff. You can re-set your pc to a date before you lost them.

I hope you can retrieve your photographs Esther.
Digital photography is good because it is instant and so much cheaper, but the old film format did mean you had to get them printed so always had copies.
I’ve got albums full of photographs (pre digital) but since I got a digital camera I have never had a photograph printed.

Same here WF but I've scanned lots of them so I see them on screen saver

I still have the most precious photos of our Grandchildren on my camera and I will definitely get them printed off

An external drive is a great idea, we have one and Graham backs up anything important on it. I hope you can get your pictures back Esther.

I believe you can store your digital photos on some sites which means that even if someone nicked your computer or it got damaged beyond repair you do not lose your pics as they are stored on the host site.
