it would help if you gave more in depth explanation of what exactly happened running up to this folder going missing as well as the operating system you are running,for now though here are the search results for data recovery showing past threads on the subject they may help you out http://www.oldversion.com/talk/searc...earchid=317897 .the software you have that is asking for the authorisation code when you try and save data is because it is a trial version and they will find lost and deleted files but not save them until you have paid for the program,also worth a look maybe http://www.aplusfreeware.com/categor.../recovery.html
