Is there ANYWAY I can get stuff from my hard drive that I erased like PICS and music. Do you mean files that you deleted? Have you checked your Recycle Bin? If your files are no longer in the Recycle Bin, PLEASE wait for an expert to reply on your post.
Check out Recuva
http://www.recuva.com/Heh, just realised I got one of these as well.... Don't know how they got my email though....stop using your computer immediately. If you have deleted a file from the recycle bin, the file is still on your computer.

Windows has simply marked the file you deleted out of recycle bin as junk and when something OVERWRITES that "junk", then it is finally PERMANENTLY removed. Now, when you use Recuva or other software to try to recover files, install the recovery program to a different location than the file you want to recover, else you might lose it forever.Hard drives work like this (in easy to understand terms).

A fresh 100gb hard drive has 100gb of never used space. We can call it free space *. When you have a file, it uses up free space.

Let's say that you have a file on the hard drive that takes up 1gb. That means that there is 1gb of used space and 99gb of free space *. If you delete that file, it becomes regular free space, able to be used, but also recovered. That means that the drive has 1gb of free space and 99gb of free space*. When you create a new file, the computer will try and use as little free space as possible, and if it must, use the oldest free space it has. This will maximize the amount of time you have before deleted files are overwritten (gone for good). Although the time is maximized, recovering lost files should be a priority.
