Basically i accidentally deleted a windows system file. I couldnt start windows so i installed windows xp home again but didnt deleted or format the first installation is there anyway to recover my files on the first installation, if so how. or can i repair the first installation. The file i deleted was in the windows file-system32-config-software.LOG in the C Disk.
Yes there is a way to recover the file, as long as new data hasn't been added to the sector that retains the ghost image of the file. Try this sprogram, it can recover lots of deleted, formatted or otherwise destroyed data from your HDD. http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/download.htm Hope this helps you and others with similar problems! Let me know how it goes for thread update purposes!
