Reinstalled Win XP oncomp and lost all files. any way to recover?

my computer WinXP froze and when re booting went to F10 and then asked for repair and it re-installed the operating system and overwrote all files. Is there a way at all to reverse this, recover files form previous. Interesting in the process, there were no prompts saying that this would overwrite.

You could try a recovery tool, but sense you formatted, it would be rare if you recovered anythging.

google for...freeware.file recovery
this worked on my computer. go to: start; my computer; C:\; documetns and settings and if there are user accounts that have a .WINDOWS after it, your data will be on your file that you had b4 you reinstalled
I am not entirely sure but I am pretty sure that once you reinstall the base software all other data on a computer will be erased.
