    Last night, while using nCleaner, I accidentally wiped 30% of my C: partition (I have two: C and D). Since I run a full weekly backup using Rescue and Recovery 4.1 (RR4.1), I used RR4.1 to do a full restore, however it not only didn't work, it made things worse!

    It seems that while R&R 4.1 recovered the programs that had gotten wiped out on the C: partition, it deleted almost everything in the Documents and Settings folder (profile information, settings, etc). It also cleaned out my entire D partation!

    The machine is a Thinkpad T43 running XP.

    Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any idea what I can do at this point?

    Thanks in advance.
