Title: Had to use data recovery because recovery console wouldn't save data
Post by: wiz98 on January 10, 2010, 02:22:37 PM

I am working on a friend's hp laptop that had a lot of viruses.  I ran recovery console and it would't save the data so I had to do a clean install.  I ran power data recovery and saved the data.  How can I restore the saved data to the original locations?  Thanks for any help.  Greatly appreciated.

Where did you save the data and did you test the saved data before doing the clean install?

DO NOT restore data from a previously infected computer without first running a scan on that data. As far as restoring it from Power Data Recovery is concerned, I"m not familiar with that software - in what format did it save the data?
