My dad was installing Norton Systemworks Premiere 2006 on his computer. During installation, the computer froze. Now everything is gone. EVERYTHING. I tried running recovery disk on the drive but its entirely wiped clean. Any idea what might've caused this?
I'm thinking maybe a virus on the computer detected that Norton was being installed and activated, thereby wiping the drive.
