Hello
I own a Hp d6000t media center laptop.
I am an avid flight simulator player.
Anyways, I was playing FSX and all of the sudden my computer freezes, i do the normal things that people do. Control+Alt+Delete, i hit the power button and nothing happened.
I then proceed to disconnect the battery.  After I turn it back on, a black and white error message appears.  The BASIC summary says that Windows shut down because of a power failure or a software error.....I wonder which one it was...anyways, it gave me options on how to proceed.  I chose the Safe mode option because i have never SEEN this message on my computer before.  I select that and after a few seconds it looks like windows is starting, I WISH.  It goes back to the error message.  All of the options are all followed. Safe mode, safe mode w/ networking, safe most w/ command prompt, last best configuration of windows, and START windows normally.  I select them all one at a time and it does the same thing at first.  Then my dad the computer "genius" decides to try to load the recovery disks, it then proceeds to (i think) WIPE my hardrive to factory settings.

After that LONG thing i have two questions,
What should I do!?!?!
if it did wipe my hardrive is there any way to get my stuff back, i was stupid and didnt backup my things but is there any other way?

any help would be greatly appreciated.well...we tryed to do the recovery built in....and it seems to work...well now i am asking how could i get my stuff back from when it got wiped??Your data is probably gone.
A recovery CD normally wipes the HDD and re-installs everything to factory defaults.
Sorry.
