Default Need (Desperate) Help Restoring Windows XP - HELP!!!

Hey,

Is there anyway of restoring Windows back to about a day or so ago? I don't have a "System Restore" option available for whatever reason, so is there a disk I can buy at a computer store or something to that effect?

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated - I've lost a ton of files I needed by somehow overwriting them.

Thanks,
-A

Using the system restore feature bring the system registry back to that point not restore any files lost by overwriting or deletion. For that a data recovery tool would probably be the only method of retrieval to consider there.

Active Undelete has a demo for file recovery seen at http://www.active-undelete.com/

As far as seeing Windows itself restored when no restore points are available and continual problems persist that would be the repair install method outlined at http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
