Hi,
Laptop decided to reinstall Win 7, programs still seem to be there, but files have gone, mostly Excel and Word, I installed and ran Recuva, (free version) it has found loads of files, quite a lot are not overwritten and come up about the right size in the list of files available for recovery. When I check the files to recover, all seems good, but all that is actually in the folder is a shortcut to the file, not the actual data.
Any ideas????
