Create an image of it as soon as possible and do data recovery from it.

My hard drive is dying, but a professional data recovery service is too expensive for me. What would you recommend me to do?

I probably wouldn't mess around too much with those. What type of files didn't you get back?

Metafiles are files that contain information about the file system. Professionals can manually analyze them, but R-Studio does that better than novices.

If this method doesn't work girlfriend wants to send hardrive away which is going to cost up to $1100 for recovery.
Look at the SMART data of the drive. If it's red, your disk is dying. Better send it to a professional data recovery service.

A Red cross on the icon means that the file has been intentionally deleted. Files without the red cross are files that exist or existed on the disk. They may be lost from the system due to file structure corruption (especially when found on Recognized partitions.)

I don't understand this????? How R-Studio knows this.
Thanks.
Some OSes (Windows, for example) specifically marks deleted files without deleting file's data. R-Studio knows about such marks. See more at our article File recovery basics.
