The disk will not restore any file you have lost .this disk is for recovery system only.To restore a deleted file or folder Open Computer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Computer. Navigate to the folder that used to contain the file or folder, right-click it, and then click Restore previous versions. If the folder was at the top level of a drive, for example C:\, right-click the drive, and then click Restore previous versions. You'll see a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The list will include files saved on a backup (if you are using Windows Backup to back up your files) as well as restore points, if both types are available.

No but you can boot from a standalone CD program and make a copy of a drive that has been freshly formatted.

Hey Rob, The Dell desktop does come with a restore disk. And that's a big 'Thank God'. Although I bought this pc as a birthday gift for my brother, I also have Windows xp. I am not, computer, savvy enough to advance to Windows 8. And now if something happens with my pc, I just can borrow the restore disk and be up and running again like nothing ever happened. Thanks, Rick

Of course you have to do the whole thing. You would need the restore/ setup CD from PC Mfr.

No. All the software can do is read the directory of the disc and make a list of file names, that is, when it doesn't freeze in the process.

That's the answer I'm looking for. I have tried to recover a very important file myself with no luck so far! Nothing in the instructions that even gets into recovering files. I am afraid we may have lost them forever!

You should be able to recover just the files that you want, assuming you can locate them (meaning that they haven't been overwritten yet) and you can identify the names of the files. (In the case of a really bad disc crash, you might only find hundreds of now un-named files that need to be opened individually to figure out which is which. This is rare, though, and doesn't sound like what you're dealing with.)

It does create a complete clone. I have deleted everything on my HD and then restored the OS and data. I don't believe you can use it as a C drive but, it will format a new drive to look like your old one.

Simple, go to start up menu, I use search box and just type in "System Restore" and up pops menu that is pretty much self-explanatory. I have factory installed Windows Seven. Restore is much easier than it was on Vista.

No, Amazon wants the whole thing back. I was missing two disks. After making enough noise, Amazon offered to refund 20% of the price ($3?). Such a waste and not the best customer service.

no, there is no system restore disk for this laptop. But once you boot system up for the first time, have a blank disk ready, it asked if you want to make one, so technically speaking you have a backup for your system if you do this step. If you don't do this turn on system restore and you can always have a point to go to restore your laptop.

No restore disk. Once the computer is up and running it asks you to create a restore disk using a DVDR. So basically you have to create it once image desktop is up and running

No, it does not come with a restore disc. Doesn't come with any discs. I bought both the black and the pink models. Black is just what you would expect and the pink, if you are female, is beautiful.

Unfortunately I don't believe it will. Mine was doing the same thing as some startup files were erased and it would not allow me to go past startup. This disk was completely useless in helping me at all. I spent 50.00 on repair disks only to have to buy a Windows refurbished computer drive for a few more dollars. Hope this helps you.
