all files lost

My computer has been crashing. It appears to have been software related (itunes) and seems (fingers crossed) to be resolved now.
 
However, the last time it crashed it seems to have wiped all my files off - everything in my documents/my pictures and all email from Outlook, all music files. Some other things have not been wiped (data from Quicken for e.g.) Anyone any ideas what might have happened or whether there is any likelihood of getting anything back?  There is nothing in my recyle bin and i have searched for files, but to no avail...
 
cheers

    When the comp crashed did you have to do anything to get it back up and running, like reload XP over the top of the existing installation?
     
    Are you logging on with the same user name, or have you changed it, or perhaps using the admin account?

    No, I didn't re-load windows or anything. My user account is still there with my name, its the only account that was and is on there.
