What, exactly, are you wanting to do?

Did you do a repair installation or a clean installation of XP?

What programs/files are you wanting to restore?

Hi,

I need to recover the programs, so I can use the printer, listen to the
video...

I install XP Professional to replace ME but I don't know it is clean or
repair installation?

Thank you.

You have to reinstall programs and drivers from the installation media.
That will either be CD's or installer executables that you burned to
disk or get on the Internet. Get drivers from:

1. The card mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers. If you don't know what hardware is installed in the computer,
use a free system inventory program like Everest Home or Belarc

Hi,

I suppose you using Active@ undelete tool to restore lost data. If you
wish to restore under DOS Uneraser can really help.

Theese tools worked great and never failed me before.
