AcK! First off, STOP USING THAT DRIVE THIS INSTANT!! Continued use will 

overwrite the deleted data!


Second, if the work is that valuable--and it sounds like it is at 100 

files, but may not be because you chose to let it go one month(!) without 

a backup--you can employ a data recovery service to go after the files at 

a sector level, beyond that which Norton can provide. Chances of total 

recovery if you shutdown the drive instantly are near 100%, but even 

receiving this email , or surfing the web looking for solutions on the 

same drive will *rapidly* destroy those files forever.


Email me privately for details.
