I didn't realize that the user had 4000 songs in his itunes folder. But since his PC was loaded up with so much spyware that it was rediculously slow and just kept restarting explorer.exe and just wouldn't do anything. I booted into safe mode and turned off everything in the startup section. It didn't help. It was just unresponisve but alive like 50 trojans were working in the background. His laptop wouldn't let me boot off the CD-ROM for anything so I decided the only option was to do a sytem restore(F10) to factory settings. Half way through I found out he has almost 17GB+- of songs on his 100GB HD that was being recovered to factory settings. When I booted up on an external CD-ROM using UBCD4win (Was just informed we had one), Windows XP looked brand new with no songs or data anywhere to be found. So I'm assuming the data has been lost but hoping there is a way to retrieve it.
Is there anything I can do to retrieve these songs?
