Any good recommendations in Cardiff too. My Mesh 6300GS XP-based computer is on it's second blue screen of death and possibly needs another new motherboard. I've already replaced it but it would be ideal for my daughter if it's worth repairing.

And Dave has fixed it within the space of an hour. Duff power supply unit. Still haven't met the guy and I owe him big time already.

Why can't you just go into the recycle bin and restore the items you deleted.

Any probs Al, I'll sort it bud. Car is waiting for me to sort a couple of coolant hose joints at the mo. Hopefully see you towards the weekend.

[SCOTTE999]

NO as i have emptied the recycle bin, i dont want them back, what im asking are they gone for good now the bin has been emptied

or can someone fixing the pc retrieve them and then get to see photos i dont want him to see?

They will be on your Hard Disk. When you delete, the only thing that gets deleted is the address of the item. As time goes by & you save new stuff on your hard drive those addresses may be used up again & only then will the original stuff be overwritten. The Police typically use software to retrieve 'items' off peoples HDD's that are basically still there even though the HDD's have been formatted. The only thing that gets formatted is the 'address book' or index. That's my understanding of it. To permanently delete it you'd have to physically destroy your HDD & make it magnetically unreadable.

Your best bet is download something like eraser from http://eraser.heidi.ie/ and run it a few times, whilst technically data is still recoverable after running this, it would take a lot of time, patience and an electron microscope to get anywhere.

So these photos? Good night, was it?

[SCOTTE999]

mmm it was a great night, drunk with a camera lots of gd shots, erm i best not go on lol

thanks for that i will give it a go.
