The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

HDD data recovery after HP F10 system restore.

Asked by Johnny_Ringo in Backup & Restore Software, Miscellaneous Hardware, Computer Hard Drives

Tags: hp, recovery, system, restore, f10

I've read that there's no easy way to recover your data after an F10 system restore on an HP machine. That can NOT be true!! If it is, curse you HP!!! Why would they make a single key that destroys your data?? After the restore completes, there are still programs installed that were there before. It just looks like the profiles in "documents and settings" are gone. It doesn't look like a full format was done on the partition.

What does the HP F10 system restore do? Does it blow away the partition? Does it format the partition? Does it convert it to FAT32, restore, then back to NTFS? Does it ZIP up the profiles under "Documents and settings" and put them somewhere?

Thanks.
