I recently did a system recovery on xp. The hard drive WAS NOT formatted. In command prompt I can see files on the C drive which predate my recovery, however I can not see any of my old files. I have searched hidden files and still can not find the files. How do I recover these files?1 person needs an answerI do too

Since you can't see the files in Windows Explorer, try booting with a Linux Live CD like Knoppix. If the files are seen in Linux, copy them to an external hard drive or USB key. If the files are not seen in Linux, use data recovery software to get them. http://www.knoppix.net R-Studio - http://www.r-tt.com/ Recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuvaMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
