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.

try avast too guys, they also have a free version, i was an avg user until i found this one, its way better.
ok so the whole drive is shot. it even lost its NTFS formatting and is showing up as FAT. i just installed a new drive into it and fresh install of XP, running fine now.
gonna try to run the fucked drive as a slave on my computer, see if i can access and recover anything.
