I can't access the recovery partition!

Hello,

Before formating my computer I did put some important files for my future school in the recovery partition, and now I can't see them :







I'm sure my files are still here because the partition is still full and that it worked on another pc.
My computer is a Compaq with Vista.

Can you help me please? Thanks!!

 

Hello,
I have read that a person can see these files using Total Commander and enabling "show hidden files" or you might want to download a small linux distro like Puppy Live CD and look at the contents with that. You will have to burn the iso image with something like Imgburn.

 

It's a very bad idea to store anything on the recovery partition but all may not be lost. Have a read HERE, and good luck!

 

I managed to get my files! Thanks a lot!
I don't know why but the partition is still full though the files are no longer in the partition :confused

 

Well done, and thanks for feedback
