Recover data after reimaging

I had to reimage my laptop with the original image that came on the laptop from my school. Is there any possible way to recover my email from the computer. If there is any way, whatsoever, I am willing to explore it.

Actually, now after having realized just how much has to be redone on it, is there any way to recover ALL the data, exactly the way it was? ANY way at all.

Hmm....There should be a way..."Urband" has it taht this one Guy can do this (hera in Iceland that is!!!!!!). Actually no Urban legend...My Grandmother called him and he retreaved an masters essay for here.
Funny thing is that just 3 hours ago I was reading about this software that did this. Well... the NOT so funny part is that I complietly forgot what the sofware was called.
But I do remember that is had "R-" someting in it.
:(

I don't think there is any way to recover your email. Outlook Express emails are stored in the c:\windows folder. That folder was completely over written when the image was restored. Theoretically you should have all the email that was present when the image was taken.

Totally guess here, b/c you didn't mention if it was a Hotmail or Yahoo account in your Outlook, but can't you just log into the actual site and retrieve your emails there?
If it was an ISP account [I use Roger's for email] then I've no idea. You could try Recover My Files [http://www.getdata.com/] it costs $67 to buy to actually recover your files, plus $14.95 for the CD [$90.30 and $20.15 for the CD in Canadian dollars] neither include taxes. There's probably some free one's that'll work for you [I couldn't get some of them to work] and I'm not sure the prices on the other pay one's.
There were a few suggested to me in a previous post of mine here: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/115825.html

Summary: If you want to maximize whatever chances you have at recovering data after hard drive or partition format, STOP using the HD altogether. The more you use it the greater the lesser chance you have at ...
