Mobility Site - View Single Post - Software Deletion Nightmare..........HELP HELP

Hello everyone. I have this really big Windows Mobile 5 nightmare. I have been using my Dopod 838 for a month now. everything was working fine until I was playing with my Dopod 838 one night, and it hanged on me. I'm not sure if this was due to some software incompatibility or some other issue, but normally when it hangs i just soft reset it and everything returns to normal.

however, to my horror, when i soft reset it this time, the next thing which i found out was that all my files on my SD card were deleted!!!!! all of my valuable files/pictures were missing! and the weirdest part is that the file directory structure is still there (the folders are there) but when i enter them the files are missing. sounds like some FAT screw up problem. but as funny as it sounds, i'm really very very worried about the prospect of not being able to recover my files anymore.

it's not just the files on my sd card that are missing, almost all my programs and files on the pda's memory are gone too! is there anyway i can retrieve my missing files? has anyone experienced something similar before???

i would really appreciate anybody's advice or help on this. thank you!!!
