Need To Restore My Disk

kvarnerexpress
Hello all,
I have a problem which I hope you have a solution for. I was looking for couple of folders on my D drive and I couldnt find them (have not touched them for 3 months). I suspect that my young brther accidentally deleted them when he is playing his game on my laptop. Is there any way I can recover them? Can I use system restore to restore this specifc hard drive?!!

Please help me if you can. Any suggestion is appreciated!!

Yes you can do system restore for any drive on your computer. If you want to do system restore for the D Drive and the D drive start up system restore, click on System Restore Settings on the left and then look at the list of the drives being monitored. For any drives you do not wish to restore click on it and then click settings. You can then check "Turn off system restore for this dirve" I hope this has been helpful to you.

System restore doesn't work on files you have created! It backup only system files. If your drive D haven't been tough (adding new files) lately you may have luck using a program named restoration to undelete it. Get it from snapfiles here
