Formatted HDD and re-installed Windows XP

[JVodnansky]

I am sure this has been asked and answered a hundred times, but I seem to be searching with the wrong terms...

I formatted a laptop this morning, after re-installing windows, I realized that I failed to move the "backup" folder containing my "backed-up" data to the network drive.

After reading several posts, it appears that this data MAY still be recoverable. I am in the process of doing a "Complete Format Recovery" (term may be incorrect), hoping that I will be able to find this "lost" folder of data.

Have I understood the purpose of this program correctly? If so, are there any clearer instructions posted anywhere on how to perform this function, or am I having a brain fart and need to go back to school.

Thank you,
Jason

Just wanted to update...

Found the files I needed. The program worked exactly as advertised, thank you!

A suggestion, NOT a complaint. It would be nice to see some tutorials or walk-throughs accessible on the site. However, if they exist, make them easier to find somehow. Even an FAQ topic in the forum would work great. Again, this is just a thought.

Thank you again for creating a program like this. It saved me a lot of heartache!!

Happy Easter,
Jason

Thanks for the feedback. We have just put a new web site for Recover My Files. We have improved the "Quick Start Guide" and will get a better FAQ page in place soon.

Good to hear you got your data back.
