HP NON-destructive recovery LOST my files

mrjimbo · 02-04-2008, 10:37 PM

I have a friend's HP Pavilion A1600n (Win Media Edition) computer, because she couldn't get it to boot.

I performed the NON-destructive recovery options, and now I see there are NO files (no word documents, no excel spreadsheets, no pictures... nothing!).

I remember during the non-destructive recovery process, the computer spent 20 minutes backing up files to the drive D: partition.

Is threr ANY WAY I can restore files that were copied to this partition during the process?

Everytime I try to access the "HP Recovery" drive, it has a big picture of a safety lock and I can't access it.

HELP!
