My dad formatted our computer, not thinking about the project he spend continuous days and nights to complete - His sister, and my aunt, died suddenly a few weeks ago. He scanned numerous pictures and set up an entire Powerpoint presentation, honoring our family and her life. After he booted the computer up after the final patches were done, he realized what he had done, and is very mad at himself.

Is there anyway to recover these files? Either professionally or manually? Or are they lost forever?

We have a Dell and he used their recovery disks, from what I understand.

He's really upset about this and I'd like to help recover the pictures and presentation if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
