Hi this might not be in the right place but am hoping someone maybe able to help. I had to do a factory reset on my laptop at the weekend and am wondering if there is any way of getting back my pictures. Most of them are backed up on my main computer but there are a few that aren't (Yes I know they should be!!) but any advice would be good.

    You can try recuva here

    http://filehippo.com/download_recuva/

    Or

    File recovery 4

    Important
    To restore a small file generally takes very little time, but where there are a large number of files or huge file sizes (such as video), it may take longer to undelete your lost files. If the file recovery process looks like it is going to take a while, it is important to let the software run to completion - this is especially true if you are trying to restore files from a computer that you regularly use. Don't be tempted to keep working on the computer for any other purpose during the file recovery process - this includes using the internet or email. It makes the situation worse. Finally, to help ensure that you don't need to go through the stress of losing files, you should have a back-up plan to protect files against future loss.

    Avoid installing more than you need to as anything added can overwrite the files you need
