well, if you haven't disabled the system restore points take a look here:
if this is not possible you can't restore the system, you only can save the files if they haven't been overwritten yet....use Get Data Back for NTFS from our downloads for this. notice that you need a 2nd HDD for that because you cannot save restored data to the drive that has been restored....
also bring some time because this can take some hours on large HDDs and make sure to enable the scan for "lost files" option...

Yeah, same deal here - except that was only while I used Windows and it happened during the 3 month cycle I had. Every three months, I did a complete wipe and install on my disk, and naturally, all information that was important, was backed up. Now, I just store all my data on my local hard disk, as well as any important documents on my external HD which then gets put on DVD's every 3 months - quicker if it's more important to me.
