Did you try any of the file recovery programs in the link?

    Yes I'm trying Recuva and Undelete PLUS.

    Recuva is Deep Scanning right now (30% complete) and Undelete PLUS found a ton of stuff, but none of it is my documents/pictures/music

    Maybe they will be found before the scan is complete. Hopefully.

      OH SNAP!

      I was just browsing in windows explorer and found that everything that was moved was backed up by the OTMoveIt program itself. It's all here in a folder called "MovedFiles"

      But does it restore your pictures?

        Yeah man I got everything back, pictures, music, documents, the works. Let me tell you that was THE sigh of relief. I just had to manually place each file/folder back where it was originally, which was a pain, but at least it worked.

        The startup problems remain, but for now I'll just live with it (I rarely reset/turn off my comp anyways). But I will be looking through Google, seeing what I can find.

        And thanks again for all your help. I'll be around.

        Glad it worked. I didn't think that would restore your files (music, pics, etc) or I would have suggested it. I learned something new lol.

        I'm off to bed now. I'll look more into it tomorrow. Let me know if you figure anything out.
