- Could you explain what you mean with 'system restore' and 'system recovery'? It's uncommon for system recovery to mention 'back up data'.
- Your data shouldn't show in Program Files. So that's quite OK. Most people store a lot of data (but not all) in their Documents folder. Where were all your data?
- What did you use drive D: for?
- Talking about backup: tell us about your backup routine. Your data should still be in Dropbox or on the DVD's you burned them to.
- And, most important, what's your problem? If you can go into Computer, I'd say you should have working desktop at least. What doesn't work?
