I was reinstalling windows 7 on the laptop. When I try to restore my documents, my own backup (with all the documents) was damage and unrecoverable.
I am now trying to recover the documents (words and excels files) on the laptop by trying to locate the files on the laptop hard drive.
I ran the R-studio but get over 100 orange partition. I picked one orange partition that has my document names and folders in them.
The files/folders all have red x on them (at least the folders that I want to recover) and they cannot be previewed.
I tried to recovered those files. After recovery to an external drive, the files are all corrupted and damaged cannot be opened. I even try R-word but it only show gibbish.
I am still trying to go thru every orange partition to see if there are any partition that have the files I want to recover but without the red x on it.
Any other suggestions?

Re: Data recovery after reinstalling windows
When you re-installed Windows, the new data might overwrite the previous one, that's the problem.
