Recover My Files is designed to retrieve deleted files from a working operating system. We are trying to retrieve existing files from a trashed operating system
well i have used it before, reformatted the hard drive and got "most" of my files back.
Fix
I fixed the problem by booting up using my Windows XP Professional disc and installing Windows to a different location than "C:/WINDOWS". When I booted up, I was able to choose which operating system to boot with. I was able to create a new account and access my files from the infected operating system. I backed these up to DVDs using a new installation of Nero and they are all fine. Now All that remains is to format the drive and reinstall Windows XP Home.
