recovery soft will only recover data that is NOT overwritten by the &nbsp;HP restore utility .<br />
you can try these guys, but it will cost a lot to recover overwritten data : &nbsp;<a href="http://www.gillware.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.gillware.com/</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />

I was able to recover the documents with &quot;getdataback&quot;. &nbsp;Thanks Vallis.<br />
However, I think some of the word docs are corrupt. &nbsp;Word wants to do an import on some and it just displays weird characters. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Hi,<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I am hoping someone can help me. &nbsp;Here is my situation....<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I have 1 SATA hard drive that was running windows XP NTFS. &nbsp;There was a power outage and some of the windows files got corrupt and the system would not boot. &nbsp;The end user ended up using the HP restore utility and blew away the original partition data. &nbsp;The computer now boots (its back to factory defaults from the image) but of course there is no data.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
How can I restore that data from the old partition?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Your help is greatly appreciated.<br />
Thanks.

Recover data from overwritten partition

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

Disaster Recovery

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
