Hi all!
I'm a newbie here, and just by browsing around, figured out that everybody is so helpful.
My dad had a problem with his laptop (WinXP), corrupted data or something like that. He asked the IT guy in the company to fix it. The guy tried to fix it with recovery CD. However, now the computer does not recognize the operating system anymore and this guy could not remember the options that he chose during the recovery.
Is it possible that he reformatted the drive? If he did, can the data be recovered? What is the best way to recover the data? Right now, I'm telling him not to reinstall the OS or anything else. I want to hear from you guys first. TIA!
