Not easilly or inexpensively. You would have to take your hard drive to a professional who *may* be able to scan the layers of the hard drive to recover the data. There are some programs that may help you with this on your own, but it's a delicate process and may cause permanent damage to your hard drive if done incorrectly.
Use this as a lesson and purchase a DVD burner. Format a DVD to allow drag and drop copying so that you can backup all future data quickly and easilly.

No, when you restored it, it wiped any old information off the drive, I don't think I could save it.. And I have the Best recovery software and Training money can buy. Sorry

you can recover lost data but you wont be able to do it personally, you'll need to take it to a recovery specialist and it may cost thousands, if you want to do this, quit using it and do it soon because it may write over some of the files

If you re-installed or restored, there is no way to recover pics or music.
