Solve : HP Recovery system changed extra partition to local and wrote

1.	Solve : HP Recovery system changed extra partition to local and wrote over files?
Answer» I have a compaq presario laptop. I have the C: partition (local drive), and an F: partition that i have CREATED for my data files. I had to use the BUILT in recovery system. I made sure to choose the non destructive option. However, afterwards, my F: drive's name changed to "local drive" and all the files on F: drive were changed into the files from C: (including system DRIVES). none of my datafiles on the desktop or my documents were changed. Does any one of you know what might have happened? and do u know if it can be fixed, and if yes how? Please i really need help, I lost some really important data Thanks a lot. FatimaIn some laptop recovery procedures there is an option to save the existing INSTALLATION...sounds like this was chosen. Unfortunately since it used the F: partition it sounds like your Data was overwritten... Sorry. The only thing you can try is searching for some of the files by name if you know the names of a few...but their probably gone.
