[TheMarine4Life]

I Had To Use System Restore And All My Files From Before Were Deleted
For School I Had Done, Is There Anyway Now To Try And Recover Those
Files Even After System Restore?

system restore only restores
system files and leaves personal
ones, like pics, docs, etc, in tact.

however, you might be able
to undue the restore point if
you double check you system
restore calendar for one.

if you can get access to your files
again then move them out of the
system folders before restoration
- again.

It's highly likely that he does *not* mean the Windows System Restore
feature. Instead he used his OEM recovery or restoration CD to put his
computer back to factory condition.

If I'm correct, he's out of luck, and his files are gone. There's a
possibility that a data recovery service might be able able to get some of
his data back, but that's a very expensive procedure with no guarantee of
success.
