There are several data recovery apps that may be able to help you get your important files back.

Here is a free one you can try. See if it will bring any success.

- Undelete Plus

If the before mentioned app doesn't bring any success, you may want to try GetDataBack. It is not free, but is a very effective utility for data recovery. You can try the demo for free to see it will be able to recover any of your files. You will have to purchase the full version to actually recover them.

So you deleted the partitions to create a bigger C drive instead of just resizing the partition, in any event you should have backed up. If you continue to write data to the disk there will be less chance of recovering files. You will need to get hold of a recovery program (thousands out there) and hope that it is able to recover files. Hirens boot cd has recovery software on it.

Hope this helps

Prior to reinstall of XP, did you have a program called GoBack installed? If so, reinstall it or remove it per

Welcome,

How did you increase the size of C:, was it at the expense of G,E,F drives?
