Recovery of old files - Memory Lane

Hey all,

I just bought recovery software and connectors to dig for data from my Gateway 2000 computer hard drive, which was my first computer I think I bought in 99 or 2000 and had until 2005. After all these years I was able to extract data from there. I came across some files with screenshots of webpages and images. It kinda made me misty eyed; well not really but I am enjoying this romp down memory lane lol. Check this screenshot of one of my old Yahoo email accounts. I wan't even Bionicskillz yet. I think I was scared about showing my art at this point but this is when I was "motionfocus4" and which is a rather terrible name I might add.


Pretty awesome! So I am in my temporary internet files folders finding these. I also found some Kerry Smith's Ubergirls PDF stories. a bunch of strength videos from the Yahoo groups. I have so many files to look through. The main importance is finding art that was deleted in these early years of drawing my fetish. I found a few and know why I deleted them, lol. But some classics I want to find desperately like this image of a girl high kicking a concrete wall and in various outfits done in Photoshop which I don't think I ever shared.

Or how about some new art instead! Any I will share as much as possible.

Motionfocus4? Sadly, I'm still just larafan22!

You preserved all that history.

Anyone have some expertise in data recovery? My first computer purchased in 2000 was a Gateway2000. I kept the Seagate HD all these years. Found a connector and recovery data - all is working pretty well...I'd just want to know if it's possible to recover even older, manually deleted files off an HD disc? I'm doing a deep scan now to see.

I kind of scared to see what it might pop up.
