OK, this will be the short version to my last post incase I lost anyones interest in trying to help me.

Specs:
-HP Media Center m7760n
-500 gig HDD

-Nvidia GeForce 7300 256 cache
-2048 mem.

Problem:
-Installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager
-Booted Up, Error read on Raid 1 Disk
-Tried to boot up again, same problem
-Tried System restore to last save point, didn't work
-Booted up in beginning system Help screen
-Tried to delete Raid 1, Failed
-Used System Recovery from Same Help Menu
-Baby Blue Screen
-I cry
-"System Being Reformatted"
-Check this website for help
-Someone Suggests Power Data Recovery
-I Download it
-Not quite sure what I am doing
-I scan both Drives that everything was seperated on
-Can't get full previews of hardly anything


Does this mean that my pics and vids are gone or is there still hope. Someone Please Help me. I have so many family pics on my PC, I can't even imagine never having them again.

I forgot to mention as well:

-Files are seperated onto different drives and Partitions
-When I scanned second drive, all of my desktop icons disappeared.

Someone please help me...
