Recovering files

[Mike]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have recently had to perform a complete system recovery on my computer
because I had lost control. The computer kept shutting down and starting up
on its' own. I tried everything I could before I did a recovery, but it did
not help. I thought I had all my important files backed up but that was not
the case. My question is, can I retreive any files now that I have done a
complete system restore? I am trying to retrieve all my Quicken files. How
would I go about it?

Did you do a "complete Restore" or a "complete reinstall of XP"???
If you did a Restore, most of your files should still be on your harddrive.
if you did a complete (clean) reinstall of XP, sorry they're gone.

First off you must stop using the system. Everytime you run it the system
will be writing data to the hard drive this means any remnants of files that
are left will be getting over written. You should pull the drive and swap in
another if you have only one system to use. You will have pay some big bucks
for decent recovery software. This is one of the best I've found for being
able to recover lost files

Did you format the hard drive? If so everything is gone.

Thanks for the help. I took my computer into a shop where we tried to recover
some of my lost files. After a long scan we were not able to recover the
files I wanted. I appreciate your time in this matter

I did a complete system recovey, because when I tried to recover keeping my
files I kept getting errors. I was desperate to get my computer back and
tired of fighting off malware. I had backed up some of the files I needed but
not all. I have taken the computer into the shop to try some recovery
software but could not recover what I needed. Thanks for the time and help.
