Out of the woods.

I like to thank my friends at Girl Chat, for the advice for my computer issue. Almost 2 weeks ago, I deleted my important files by accident. Most of you gave me advice and with me combining your advice and research. I managed to restore about 97% of my files. With hours of re-editing my folders and documents, I'm glad I restored all my secret passwords and seen my old friends faces again. I decided to mount my old volume and my new corrupted volume together. I scanned my new volume because I was saving my files there, and got... nothing. I scanned my old volume and still nothing.. I was very frustrated and upset. Then I remembered another password I used before, and used it.. and my volume mounted! Quickly, I used Recuva on it, and 2 hours later, it showed the names of my files!! But Recuva would not restore my files, because it said device not available error. I had to calm down, and see why it would not restore my files. I saw my volume dismounted, and I was irritated. I remounted my volume, and had to use Recuva again. 2 hours go by again, and the same thing!! My volume dismounted again!! The problem was, my volume dismounting on it's own, was perplexing me. This time, I sat next to the computer, and watched it recover. The screen saver came on, and that is where I found the problem. The screen saver affects the virtual device, and made it dismount. So I turned off the screen saver, and started the Recuva all over again. This time the device stayed on, and it didn't dismount.. but the files were more scrambled than Petra Luna's brains. I used the restore folder integrity option. It finally finished, and I was able to recover my files and 97% of my sanity. It's not 100%, but it's better than 0%. I recovered the files to a new unsecured drive and reformatted the old volume and I defragged it and I made a new volume even more stronger and more secure. This process was long and stressful. The data transfer was slow and long. I stayed up late alot, reconfiguring my PC and my files. I had to redo my security system and programs. When you work with an encryption program, this kind of thing happens. That's why I wasn't posting for so long. I hope there are no interruptions this time. Guys, this is just sheer luck, or good fortune. But I want you guys to do this in case this happens to you:

Worst case scenario..
This does NOT work on drive wipes or file deniability apps!!

Bad case scenario..
If you have accidentally deleted your files, and as long as the deletion was a single pass delete, DO NOT SAVE ANYTHING ELSE IN THAT SPACE!! You will damage, or permanently damage your precious files!

The best recovery software I used, was Recuva. I used Glarys and Pandora recovery, but they recovered less volume than Recuva. Use the Strong recovery option (and/or deep scanning, or anything that defines strength in recovery) and use, "restore folder integrity", it will be very helpful.

The more time you take to recover your files; the more the files will deteriorate from accessing the drive and logging files and data reading.

It is better to have a separate drive for better results. Turn off your screensaver. True crypt will see the screensaver as logging out. So it will dismount every time screen saver activates.

Be prepared for a LONG session. Depending how big your files are.. this could take HOURS!! True crypt will be seen as a device and you can recover deleted files from that volume.. and unlike I did.. DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD!!! That is what got me in trouble in the first place!!

Thank you friends for your inputs and kind words. I knew you guys are geniuses, and I could count on you for good computer advice. You guys are awesome!! Now I go to sleep!!

Sigh of relief..
