P20: Can I recover the data after the recovery procedure?
Hello
I have a toshiba P20, when I buy, I made 2 partitions, C program and the BONES and F to my personal data.
I use the restore tools toshiba to restore my windows XP OS, but the restore tools has also reset my partition table and I don't know if I can restore my personal data.
Everything is done in one step and I saw no warning to say that my partition table will be reset?
It's just a fdisk or a format really has been done.
Can I use a tools for restore my partition to lose data?
I hope that there is an acceptable solution to this problem and in a near future, I'll buy an external HD to perform the backup.
Hello Alex
If you want to preinstall the device with the recovery media, you can do this in two different ways:
-standard mode will be formatted the whole HARD disk and after the procedure of recovery on the HARD drive is just a single partition.
-expert mode using this mode, you can create partitions if the HARD disk has only one, and you will be able to install the OS on the first partition (the other guy)
Of course, you did using the standard mode and now the whole HARD disk is formatted. I'm not 100% sure, but in this case only fast format is done before the beginning of the procedure of the facilities. Try to find (Google) if there is a tool that can help you verify if all the data is gone. Using recovery media there is no way to do it.
Drive external HARD is the right solution for the data backup.
Good bye

Can I use the recovery CD without losing all my data?
When I turn on my laptop satellite I get a message saying that the Windows system file is missing or damaged. The standard fix seems to be to repair using the Windows CD of Installation which of course I did not. I've also seen suggestions that sometimes chkdsk will fix the problem, but I can't run no more.
The insert on the product recovery disc warns that all created files since I bought the laptop will be deleted. However, when I load the utility, I get two options. The first is to reinstall XP on my entire hard drive, and he told me that if I do that, I'll lose all my files. The second option is to install XP on a separate partition on my hard drive. He said nothing to lose all my data. Am I right in thinking that this second option will be to install XP, say, E: and I will then be able to run chkdsk on C:, or at least access C: and back up all my data?
My deep gratitude for all the advice!
Hello
Sounds like you have an old Win XP Recovery disk
Of general use of the Toshiba Recovery disk would be to format the whole HARD drive and therefore existing partitions will be deleted too I m not quite sure on the second option, you mentioned, maybe you would be able to choose a partition during the recovery process and would be able to install the operating system only on this partition without formatting the HARD drive but I m not 100% sure because it seems to be a former recovery procedure
I would recommend another solution. You want to access the HARD drive to back up data. Right? Why you n start t Notepad using a Livecd such as Knoppix. In this case nothing would be installed on the HARD drive and the data on the HARD drive would not be affected so you can access important data and can move a HDD connected USB or flash memory stick
After that, you can run the recovery procedure and might install Win XP on C.

How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!
I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.
What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.
I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.
Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?
Thank you all!

Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery. If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer. Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive. If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost. With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means. Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media. Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery. It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.
Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data. Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.
