Hi ,
I have reinstall the OS i.e windows XP sp2 on my compaq pesario laptop by the recovery partion in D drive .

there is only a single partition C on my hard disk . unfortunatley it showed me 3 options while resinstalling OS by the recovery partion out of which I selected 1st which shows user data wouldl be backed up .
after doing this, there was no impact on the data which was on C drive but the profile under which i was logged on and all the data in my documents and settings got lost and now it has created a new profile and i am not able to get any of those pictures and songs and data whcih was on my desktop and in my doucments .

It has NTFS partition.
Please help me in giveing some work around or free software utility which i could use to recove my lost data of user profile.
any help would be deeply appreciated.
regards

Since you chose the option to backup your user data before recovery all you have to do is restore the user data.

Reinsert the recovery disc - and select the "user restore" option and it will restore everything it backed up.
