Living in an area with slow internet combined with the desire to completely rebuild a currently live website, led me to the world and learning curve of 'local host's', AMPPS and developing it all offline.
I am using Windows 7, AMPPS 4.6.3
I installed WP, a new theme, followed by a phpBB forum ... I was really forging ahead. All was performing brilliantly and I was very pleased with my learning curve and development results.
4 weeks in and one morning after a routine virus scan update, SuperAntiSpyware, I noticed that my desktop icon for AMPPS had been altered to a generic wondows icon. Needless to say, AMPPS would not run, returning file and page not found errors.
So knowing just enough to get into trouble, I uninstalled and reinstalled AMPPS. Prior to doing so I copied all of the files within the .../.../ampps/www folder. At this point it hit me like a light, I had not done an internal backup of either, the WP site nor the php forum .
So here I am now pondering how I might recover my data to continue development ? ...
Or must I start at square one again ?

There are tools around to recover lost files. Basically when a file gets deleted it doesnt wipe the hard drive of the file, it ust deletes the pointer to where to find it and frees the space up to be re-written. so long as nothing has been written over those sectors you can recover your lost files with a bit of luck. Hopefully someone else on here knows the name of some of these tools as I have forgotten so much of what I used to know. If noone gives some solutions soon I'll have a look and see what I can find for you.

Thanks guys...
Im on that all to common crest of knowing more than enough to get a nice result, and knowing just enough to get into trouble... combined with the increasingly common days of 'brain fart' where I cant even properly explain the issue.
The proper issue was that the local host software crashed. When I reinstalled AAMPS I could not load the website files.
I presume it was due to internal address conflicts created by the local host software and the word press files and not a case of damaged/lost data.
I have d/l and sussed out those suggested prog's to no success.
Suffice to say, I couldnt sort it out. So I have started over again, this time making backups every hour or so of work.
Hopefully I wont require them in future, but are great to have at hand.
Cheers
