Yes, Ive tried it but still could not retrieve the files/folder..

There were no 'back-up copies' obviously, but tried the system restore
in 3 different restore points, and the closest I got was getting the
'mannequin' folder back but empty with no files inside...

Thats pretty strange, it wouldnt show the new 180 photo files it
copied, but also had no trace of the 30 that were already in there, and
had been for some time?

On the system restore log, the event that coincides perfectly with my
computer crashing when I lost the folder is:

System: Scheduled checkpoint

Any new ideas?

Thanks

No. No new ideas. Youcould try file recovery programs.

If your still have your older backups, try restoring that folder from
the next older one. That's likely to restore all the files that were there
before that backup, if it was done in a way to make it include that
folder.

Note - if the system crash wiped out the backup program's list of
older backups, expect the have to tell the restore program that
you are restoring from a backup made on a different computer, so
that it will ignore the absence of that backup on the list of previous
backups.

If the folder never got onto any backups, you'll need to determine
a string of bytes in one of the missing files, then search the entire disk
(not just the portions currently marked as parts of files) for that
string.
The word "mannequin" MIGHT be a suitable string. The hard drive
may need to be mounted into a computer that has been told not to
write anything to it for this to succeed.

If you have enough money, you can arrange a search of the entire
with special equipment to look for information that has been
overwritten, but not enough times to totally destroy it.
