    So I was sorting a bunch of pictures from a shoot, picked all the winners and drag them into the "chosen" folder. At that moment an error message comes up and says it its unable to move the files due to some error. Hhmm, ok. So I go back to the original forder, interesting, the files are not there. hmmm.. ok, maybe there in that chosen folder after all... nope.
    fuck.
    Did a search of the whole system, theyre nowhere to be seen.

    Anybody knows what to do in this situation? Theres no way we can afford to reshoot.

    :(

    that has been happening to me a lot! and it fucking sucks!

    were they on a server, or more importantly, were they on a server that gets backed up on a timed basis?

    i'm assuming that both the answers are no, but who knows. that sucks :\

    i'm assuming they are not still on the camera or anything?

    This happened to me once and I never recovered the files. I searched all over too.

    Hopefully my problem isn't the same as yours and you can find the pictures.

    :(

    Not sure if this is true... a friend of mine said if you keeping copy the files (e.g images/photos) the quality of the files will get worse... is this true?

    I think he is talking baws!

    sorry but burning a backup dvd or some other media is the first thing you should do on a photo shoot. from the camera card to hard drive to backup.

    Most workflow software will do this automatically if set to.

    Yeah this is awful, wish i had a solution. Can you reshoot for free on your own time, or are there outside costs?

    *starts backing shit up out of paranoia.

    I saw this happen to a few people back in my tech support days. If you're willing to drop some cash, data recovery places like http://www.ontrack.com/ are often able to recover deleted files. For now, don't write anything new to the disk (you don't want to overwrite the blocks on the HDD where the pics were previously located)
