Hi,

If it was no-destructive then possibly yes. Look under C:\Documents and
Settings, the recovery process may have simply created new user profiles and
your files are located under the old ones.

If you have found the files but cannot access them, take ownership. See:

If you had gone to the link I gave you and read the article and followed
the instructions, you would have those files by now. Taking ownership
has nothing to do with the "read only" attribute. If you have XP Home
you will need to go into Safe Mode to take ownership.

If you can't figure it out, take the machine to a professional computer
repair shop.
