Is it true when you recover your computer to its original files, music and photos are saved in a secret file somewhere? If so, how can I retrieve them? I have a relatively brand new laptop HPdv9000 that has windows XP and is no more than a year old. I purchased it new 5 months ago. Please let me know. I appreciate any help, thank you!

most likely they are toast ... there is no such thing as a magical save folder ...

Secret file ? you kidding I hope, I fix these things every day, if theres a secret file holding them, I missed it...
When you say you recovered your computer, did you meant using the factory recovery CD ?

No such luck. Not even Geek Squad could recover mine.

This won't help with Music , but to get back the pictures use Zero Assumption Recovery found at http://www.zar.com
You can do search for a file recovery for music

if you havent reformatted yet copy all your important files to cd before doing the reformat then you can copy them back onto your pc from the cds after the reformat

when you recover your computer back to manufacturing setup, then it either A) backed up your files
B) deleted them
try looking up manufacturing setup on
