Solve : Lost data during XP restore?

Answer»

I did a system restore on XP bringing my system BACK to it's original state. The application software, except the registry, is INTACT but all my personal documents are gone! Help.

I have run a few freeware undelete programs to no avail. I also used DOS to search the C drive, but found nothing. Welcome to the CH forums.

You just about answered your own question. When you do a restore back to ex-factory CONDITION that's what you get. In ex-factory condition none of your files existed. If you saved files in a folder which was created when your original system was installed then RECREATING that folder during the restore would wipe your files.

Good LUCK.
