Everything is lost forever, isn't it?

[Jacob Gall]

I despise Windows. I don't what to do. I was having "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" blue screen problems and figured out how to "fix" it here, but sll that did was ut me a few months into the past. Files I've downloaded in the past few months are gone(files I've deleted from the past are back). The wallpaper and user icon I had just yesterday are gone and ones I had sometime in the past are back. The driver for my wireless card is gone. I lost everything of recent events that matters. Months of anything and everything I've done is lost forever. There are no system restore points and no places to return to on the backup drive using Retrospect. Nothing. It's all gone. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever in any way at all. I don't know what to do with myself. It's a hopeless cause, isn't it?

XP Pro. No restore points.

Jacob Gall.......Did you have system restore shut off and more important what happened yesterday ?

System restore was off because it caused me major problems in the past.

I loaded about a gig of music into iTunes from CD's yesterday.  :-/

Jacob,

If all you want is to get your data back, you can mount your disk to another computer running XP (slave it in) then use a data recovery tool to scan the slaved disk to retreive all your data.

Once you are happy that all your data saved, then decide if you want to re-install XP from scratch, then transfere your data back
