Title: undo restore?
Post by: stairfall on July 18, 2008, 09:39:16 PM

i have an hp laptop, windows xp. i had a virus on my computer and it wouldn't let me do one of the checkpoint recoveries so i did the PC recovery which deleted EVERYTHING i had. pics, documents, music, anything and everything i had on here. I've done the recovery on other computers and it never did anything like that. of course i didn't save anything on a disk or anything like that. is there any hope of undoing this? can i ever get it back?  :(

If you used a System Recovery that game with your Computer, it most likely wiped everything out.
Is there no backup folder anywhere?

Try using a file-restore program but chances are slim...
