I foolishly reinstalled Windows 7 because I thought it was my only chance to get back into an old computer (from repair mode) and back up everything I had... and read that it wouldn't delete personal files.
It deleted everything from five years.
I desperately need my documents from before... would also like pictures. I am doing a full scan because I didn't know how to search for everything. Should I stop it and search for only documents first... to lessen chance that it will overwrite something while running?
