I wouldn't care if it was just games or old work files, but in that hard drive had music I was working on and I cared deeply about that shit. For some reason it the cloud didn't save it.
I found a program that restored some of the project files but I got to pay a ton of money to be able to have them again. Help me bros, please.
Should've locked the files, or better yet put them on a flash drive.

Nothing to help, next time use backups and/or use linux so your stupid brother can't figure out how to use the computer in the first place
Justin Torres
Tell his mother so that he never plays PC games ever again
Daniel Myers
You have to be 18 to post here bucko.

Take a forensic image of the drive and run it though whatever you can get your hands on. Maybe a FTK and Autopsy workflow. Shame he wrote stuff on top of it. Probably could have recovered most of it if he hadn't. When people borrow my computer they bring their own drives
Joshua Price

Nathan Hernandez

>has to listen to mommy when the baby bro says it's his turn to play on the computer Nothing you lost was of any importance, kiddo. You'll get over it and forget all about it when you're older.
Nicholas Cooper

You're retarded then.

Use photorec to restore deleted files. its foss
Joseph Perry
You should have locked your bios and created a separate user for him to use that would only have user level permissions. Then he couldn't have formated your drive.

>he watched some shitty tutorials ended up formatting my hard drive trying to "optimize" his performance in game kek, gottem
Jacob Smith
Should've replaced your drive with another one so your brother could fuck that one instead.
Jaxson Robinson
Let this be a lesson to back up your data.
Chase Ross
You should always back up your shit but the lesson you should get from this is to never let random retards touch your computer unless you swap the drive(s) or letting them use an alternate OS install while the main one is encrypted, even if he hadn't deleted it all he could've easily installed malware that steals passwords or whatever
Jayden Gray
Yes Hopefully it will work, I just want to save like 10 files. I used to let him play before, he never fucked with my settings or anything outside the games. Also I just have 1 drive and 1 ssd, yeah I'm poor. I did, I recovered a lot of files thanks to Google Drive but it didn't synchronize all the folders inside the backup one.
And yeah it's a lesson for me to be more careful. This is the first time I cared about something in my PC, if this happened a while back I wouldn't give a fuck, but now I have this producing hobby and losing most of the stuff I worked on hurts. Totally my fault though.
