I have a laptop and a desktop that both crashed and reinstalled xp on them again. How do I get all my important stuff back what program do I do or how can I find them again.
If all the data was in the same partition where windows was installed, once you reinstalled windows the data probably got overwritten. You can try photorec (it's free) see if it can recover any data for you. As long as windows didn't overwrite it, you might still be able to recover some of it.
