I ran a windows vista cd and lost everything off my laptop how do i get it all back cant find dells 24hr no?

Answer 1

You dont.  Vista is a funny program and you can't undo what you did, all you can do is reinstall Vista to it's factory setting.  I wish I could tell you more, but I used to work for technical support and there is no solution, sorry.

Answer 2

Were you trying to install Vista?

Dell has an online chat that can help you.

Answer 3

In english please ??

Answer 4

you can't get it back its gone forever. that happened to me and it really sucks im sorry.

Answer 5

God knows what you did.If you reinstall Vista on the same partition,everything is gone but you can find your personal files in a folder named windows.old If you format before you install,good buy files.
