i did a full system recovery on my compaq presario. I had backed up docs, etc. to an external hard drive. The hd must've gotten affected by the recovery--all the files are gone.
Could they still be on the drive, or did they get wiped?
Any help appreciated.

Did you ever check the files on your backup? Maybe you didn't backup properly. The previous comment is correct, a system restore won't affect an external drive.

A few days ago I discover that most of my computer files were corrupted. I tried to search on Internet for a recovery method, I found a free data recover software called Wondershare Data Recovery and I was able to recover all my lost file very quickly! at this link you can download it http://bit.ly/1qaI4hs

if your files are on a external hard drive they should still be there... doing a full systems recovery only effects the internal drive.. not the external drive...
