Provided he's as mentally challenged as you make him out to be, you can still recover it all...

I have no sympathy for someone who doesn't back up their files regularly. It's not like it's hard.

Don't use your PC., if its been deleted recently its pretty easy to get back. Theres even a load of free programs online that can get it back. Just a FYI

if undelete doesnt work sue him

i'd kill him. then get it back x]]

First I was going to say the novel probably sucked, but then I noticed you're from Ireland. You're all fantastic writers.

The magical thing about a Windows hard drive is deleted files are not actually deleted immediately after you "delete" them. They actually continue to sit on the hard drive until they are written over by other data. As long as you have not put anything huge on your hard drive after the fact, then it should still be hanging out on your hard drive. However, it is waiting to be wiped and replaced by new data so act fast. There are programs and IT professionals out there that can do that sort of thing. Also, have you ever heard of common sense? Backup and encrypt your crucial files next time. And put a damn system password on. That should have been obvious to do from the start. Data gets lost, corrupted, and deleted all the time, with or without the help of vindictive family members. But honestly, you are his brother. You have access to his personal/identity information and you know all of the things he cares about, where he hangs out, what he likes, and what he likes to do. You could choose to literally and quite easily destroy his life, or, at least put him through a little pain for his trespasses. I mean, at least **** with him a little bit. There are a lot of things that fall under the prank category which could seriously inconvenience his life. But that would be declaring war, and war is messy. Unless you move on him like a ninja, with speed and stealth under cover of night where he expects you least. :)
