Restore some of the files? I think you mean recover some of the files? Sure. Do you have an external backup drive?

Download a Linux live CD, burn it, boot off it and use that to transfer your files. I'm afraid I don't know much about which is the smallest, simplest Linux to use but I think I've read recommendations to use Puppy Linux. http://puppylinux.or...ng Started.htm.
Here's a suggestion. In the future, create a separate partition to store your data. That way you can format and reinstall the OS without worry. I've been using this strategy as long as I can remember. I even put most of my programs on D:\Programs so I don't need to reinstall them after a fresh format. Note: This will not work for all programs. Just the most portable ones.
Oh and backup your data daily to a separate physical hard drive (external is fine)!

Exactly how would I transfer my files after I boot up to the Linux Live cd?

With the Linux equivalent of Windows Explorer.

Okay I think I may have messed up! I did a clean install and put windows vista as my O.S. Now then I tried doing what you had told me to do and the files are not there anymore, so is there a way that I can decrypt the hard-drive and pull files from it?
