Unless you have the hard drive totally "erased" ALL the info you have is still there, but not readily available (there is software that permits this, howeveer). Case in point....Our Compaq (one of the absolutely worst machinges on the market) was "rebooted" from the getgo by a friend who is a certified computer tech and worked for years at IBM. After eliminating everything and reinstalling windoes and the other software, I found all my saved letters, spreadsheets, etc. were still there. My friend explained that this is the case; all that the system knows differently is that the space is free to write over.
I dunno
My knowledge of up-to-date electronics stalled after HeathKit went down the tubes....
