From: James on 9 Feb 2010 11:51 I'm posting this for a friend who had his computer to crash and he did a system restore and lost some old emails. Is there any way to get those emails back? Here is something he wrote- I am looking for the person who had the friends who were going to buy our NQC tickets for 2010. The were going to retire and use our tickets this year. My computer crashed due to a corrupted hard drive and when I did a total system restore it deleted all my old saved emails so I cannot contact them. Thanks And here is another message he wrote when I ask him if his system was windows xp, and he told me it was. I had to do a total reboot from recovery disks and it reverted me back to 2003 when I bought the computer. When I reloaded Microsoft Outlook it did not recognize my previous emails. All my folders were blank in spite of the fact that the recovery process said all my data file would be saved. James Any help would be appreciated-Thank You.

Makes a good case for backups, though. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

From: Unknown on 9 Feb 2010 15:28 I believe you are confusing system restore with re-install.
