I have deleted the Internet Protocol TCP/IP while doing something my
service provider was helping me with. BIG help. And Microsoft says
this can't be done. Well my Widows XP home edition must be one of the
first ones out before they made it impossible to delete. I was unaware
of what I really had done and restarted my computer as they asked me to.
Well, the Windows page comes up with my name and when I put my password
in I get nothing. My Service provider said "oh gosh" you have to go to
Microsoft. Microsoft won't help me because Windows was pre installed
by the company that made my computer and they are to help me. Well
they are no longer around and my backup and recovery disk will not even
work. Is there anything that I can do (besides jump off a bridge). If
nothing can be done, would a computer shop be able to recover all my
stuff that I want ?? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Penny

When a file is deleted it isn't physically deleted and when file is saved it
isn't necessarily over the original. Let me explain. The computer keeps a
record of all the files on the hard disk. Think of it as an index. If you
were to cross out a line in the index of a book the word or phrase will
still be extant in the body of the book. (The difference with a computer is
that the area of the 'lost' file is available for re-use). It is,
therefore, possible to recover 'lost' files. As you will appreciate success
depends on whether or not the area on the hard drive has been re-used.
There are a number of software that will do the job. I have used and,
therefore, can recommend 'Get data back' www.runtime.org. Restoration
www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html is a freebee (which I have not used).
It is highly recommended that the software is installed on and run from
another hard disk (to decrease the possibility of overwriting the 'lost'
file).
All this assumes that, at least, the hard disk will spin. It is possible to
recover data from a hard disk that doesn't spin. This is, however, a
specialist (forensic) operation and will be charged accordingly. It
wouldn't do any harm to find someone local who could do this for you and
assess and possibly justify the charge against the cost (time, patience and
money) of re-entering the 'lost' data. Some work on the amount of data
recovered so if you're looking only for one file the charge may not amount
to much (comparatively speaking),
You should, perhaps, also think of getting a backing up system. You may
like to have a look at my web site www.1001solutions.co.uk for more
information.
