Your chances of recovering data after using HP Recovery CD are nil. HP clearly stated that all data will be irreversibly lost once you used the recovery CD.

You were warned by HP when you use the Recovery CD, were you not?

Hi Jen,
He stated that he restored my pc back to factory settings. HP Recovery CD does it. It's a destructive operation.
