I thought I backed up my documens wich had mw HAWX game save in it. But It was not backed up.
I have tried using rucuva and even looked at the guide here but I wasnt able to get my documens back.
I have also tried getdataback, with no luck. but I stuck to just the basics with getdataback.
Any advice or advanced tactics would be great.

have you tried photorec? It's a free software that comes with testdisk, it can recover many different formats. Some people here in the forums have had good results with this program.

I am in the process of using photo rec. i tried using it but my destination did not have enough space.
I will clear my external then I should be ok.
I have noticed the program doesnt list the drive with xp first.
How can I be sure I am recovering the correct drive(the one with xp on it)?
how can I be sure Im picking the right destination drive? I dont what to save the files by mistake to the drive I want to recover?
my third and final question is what do i do after i have recovered the the files? they are only identified by a number. How do I identify them?
