It's gone if it was on the drive that crashed and you reinstalled on that drive.

It's for this reason that I keep a system with 3 drives. C drive has the OS and the main program apps...D drive is a storage drive and E drive is a USB external backup.

Once a song is finished, I move the project off of the C drive and into the D drive..... then mirror that drive to E.

Crashes of the main C drive rarely affect the secondary drives in adverse ways. More than one time, I have simply installed the D drive into a new machine and been able to read the data......

ALSO..... depending on the level of damage to the C drive in the "so-called" crash..... I have also taken a C drive, (back in the days of jumpers on the drives) and set it up as a secondary drive for grins..... and I was able to see all my directories and even copy the data and folders I needed off the damaged drive into a new clean drive.
