I installed then uninstalled Nero yesterday and after that, i've lost ALL my uni work and everything from D drive which was the 'Backup' drive...I tried using a program which was 'ADRC Data Recovery Tools'. The program found the deleted files but the filenames are in weird letters like a file called 'ayaahs.doc' comes out as 'áyaahs.doc' or something so it doesn't recognise it.

So yeah, can someone help me out please?

P.S - I can't do system restore cos there aren't any restore points saved

When a file is accidentally deleted, very often the first few letters of the filename will be irretrievably lost so file-recovery utilities can often recover a file but not it's original filename, so it has to fill in the missing characters using guesswork. You should still be able to open it though, either by opening the program that created it (eg Microsoft Word) then going to 'File->Open, or you should be able to rename the recovered file to anything you like if it's recovered name contains any odd characters which may prevent it from opening.

You can recover your deleted files by using Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software, a file and partition recovery utility which recovers the lost data due to system format, or due to software malfunction, file/directory deletion, viruses or even sabotage.
