What you really meant was that she deleted her nude pictures and now you want them back to post online for all of S2ki to see.

when files are deleted, the space they took up in merely marked "able to be overwritten" but the info stays there until it is in fact overwritten with something new.

You can just use a recovery software to get it all back, but you need to have another hard drive to recover to. Let me know if you have another hard drive and I can send you the program. Or if you don't I could do it but you would have to ship the drive to me.
Let me know.

overwriting the deleted data with "tons of downloaded torrents" is a good way to lose those pics.

Like it was mentioned, deleting a file from the disk only marks that portion of the disk as "available". If you then proceed to download a ton of crap from the net, that data may very well end up being written to the portion of disk which was marked as available.

You still have a chance of recovering some of the data if those portions of the disk have not been overwritten to, but your changes get slimmer the very second you continue to use your PC in a productive way after the files were deleted.

As I mentioned in another thread, I've used Recover My Files (a program) to succesfully restore all kinds of data.

YMMV

p.s. even data which has been re-written over can still be recovered via professional means. The data being composed of positive and negative charges vary ever so slightly with consecutive writes, that in some cases, you can still get the data. It is prohibitevely expensive however... 5 or 6 digit $$$... good luck.
