you should be able to recover them, there is software out there. nothing gets deleted from hard drives, just written over.

Shant,
If you are unable to, let me know. I may have a utility that will probably work for you.

Stop using that PC!! Take the hard drive out, put it into another PC. Then scan it using the OTHER pc... You are overwriting things irrecoverably by using it. I say irrecoverably because the only way after that is to spend $2,000+ or give it to a buddy that works for the NSA. So, stop using the computer. Take the drive out, and have somebody else recover the files. I'd offer but it's kind of a long drive from south Orange County (where I have my recovery station)...
