my PC has been affected by virus. This is my guess only. I have 80 GB hard disk and 1 Gb RAM. It’s a Pentium processor. I have five partitions in total including C drive. I had huge data in all the drives. Almost all the drives were full. Sad thing is after the recent restart, I am just seeing all drives as empty. Size and free space both are same. I can open the drives too. Even if I search some files, the results are not appearing. C drive is intact and all the documents too. I am very much worried. Can anybody please help? I cannot afford to lose the data. It’s simply precious with all the photos and other documents of decade period.
