First of all, don't use the computer. Second, use another computer to google and download a free program called undelete. Install the program to a flashdrive, then plug it into the problem computer, and attempt to recover as much of the data as you can, if some parts of a file have been rewritten over already, the file will not be recoverable.

I would also suggest you download a free program called Recuva. It's easy to use and has found some stuff for me that other programs haven't. From the same company that makes ccleaner and defraggler, both great free programs! Good luck!

After you recover your data I recommend that you put a backup plan in place.

I personally use Mozy for myself, my parents, and friends. The free version includes 2GB. The pay version at $4.95/month allows for unlimited backup.

that is fine for most data but files super important you should always backup to a disc. most my data i care about is on 2 sometimes 3 drives and the data i can't lose ever i put on a DVD disc.

RAID is not backup. What happens if you get a virus?

As for me, I use different software to recover deleted files. On the market, there are many programs that recover photos, videos, documents, and other important files deleted by mistake or intentionally, you can give some of them a try. For example, Advanced File Recovery, Recover My Files, Quick Recovery, R-Studio. I prefer the first one, because it unerases mistakenly deleted files from any media.

put it in a water/fire proof safe.

data that important you don't want other eyes on should be in a safe place anyways. if you got small files like your resume you want backed up to some online storage site no biggy. im sure you won't be using them to store your blurays.
