I don't know what happened. I ran some malware programs and tried to boot into safemode and run again, but since that didn't work, I tried it with superantispyware's reboot safemode and that's what caused it into restarting over and over again. It just stopped loading when it gets to the Windows XP loading page, and then reboot itself. I restored my computer from an image file and now most of my drive data (desktop files) is gone. Is it still possible to recover some files using data recovery such as testdisk?
My computer is pretty old: Windows XP 2003, and it has been formatted so that any ghost reboot would return the drive into its original (beginning) state. Sorry I'm not sure about how to give more info as I am not very tech-savvy so I'll have to be guided...
Please help. Thank you very much!
