Hi, she has a restore point from 12:30 am today, which is before she wiped out the file.
Problem is, according to the documentation, the restore leaves documents UNaffected. This isn't what I want. I DO want the file in the condition it was at checkpoint time. Is there a way to tell system restore that I DO want the earlier file? Thanks.
OK, I tried system restore, and it failed because "no changes were made." I presume that it is mane no SYSTEM changes were made, i.e. configuration settings, installation/deletion of software etc. In my case, though, we're trying to recover an earlier version of a changed Word document.
It sounds as though system restore is useless as far as recovering data changes, unfortunately. Thanks.
She doesn't have Norton Ghost installed. However, here's what I'm wondering. Does Ghost have the ability to recover DATA FILES from an earlier restore point? Will it work even though it (Ghost) wasn't installed at the time of that restore point? Maybe I can install Ghost and tell it to get the document from the restore point? Thanks.
