I had a problem of my computer crashing once I logged in. I rebooted the machine and pressed F10 to access Compaq’s system recovery. I ran the recovery and the pc loaded as it did on the day of purchase. My desktop remained unchanged but my personal data files have gone.

    Well, it warns you to back up the important files, but you can go to C:/Windows.old folder and see if its there.

    That’s a drag. Check out hirens boot CD (link below). Just scroll down the page to recovery tools. There may or may not be something there that could help. You’ll have to research the software yourself. Hirens is free to download and use. Good luck!

    Yes, John is probably right. I forgot about that. It may have saved your data to an “old C Drive” folder, if you’re lucky. If not, definitely check out hirens boot cd.

    It is rare to get back your data after recovery of your Compaq System Recovery but you should try at least. You should simply try a good data recovery software like Kernel for file recovery software in which you can preview the data of your hdd drive in scanning mode and the deleted, missed formatted data will be show there in red color, if you find your data in scanning then you can easily save the lost data to any desired location but a necessary condition is only that the hdd space has not over-written. You can check the demo version for the working of the software and the data is available or not?

    Get back deleted files by installing a data recovery program. The best software will perform a full system scan and allow you to preview the files before you recover them. So this way you know EXACTLY what you are getting.
