NOO! HEEELP!! =(

Ok i'm going crazy right now, I lost all my files! I recently had to restore windows because windows would not startup do to alot of system corruptions. So I thought ok, i'll restore again, and get my files from my "Documents and settings\[Username]" folder afterwards. Not knowing that after it saved all the files from "Compaq_Owner" it will be overwritten because that's the default username after it restores as well! I lost very important files due to this! Is there anyway of getting them back? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

What, exactly, do you mean by "restore". Throw us a bone. It makes a big difference.

 

I found this article and actually performed it for a customer. after getting in and getting files I did a re-install. may be worth a try. Link below.
