    complete restore & backed up files
    « on: March 22, 2010, 03:11:29 PM »
    I did a complete restore using the 4 restore disks it came with...back to the original factory settings.  I have an emachine desktop with windows XP.  I did the restore, now I have lost all my files even though I checked the box that said save files to backup.  How can I recover these files?  I need help!

    You may have wiped everything...
    However open Windows Explorer...not Internet Explorer and see if you have a Windows.old Folder...if so there's whatever it saved.
