Due to the idiots at HP they informed me I had not choice but to reformat my hard drive, this didn't work so they had me try and try again. So, I am not sure how many times the drive may have been reformatted or partially reformated at the recovery would never go past the 1% completion. Atleast until I (that's I) figured out it was a bad stick of memory not the hard drive at that point my personal stuff was gone.
Long and the short I believe I have asked the program to the most indepth search it can and as a the drive has been formatted and a new operating system put on I have choice to search the C: drive.
