Windows 7: Installed Win 7 in NTFS and cant recover XP DATA

Hi all,

Im new here has you can see , if you guys can help me it would be great.
I had an XP pro on NTFS, backuped my data and quick formated the disk in ntfs.
Then i deleted the existing partition and instaled Windows 7 pro.
When i went to retore my backuped data it had severel erros and couldnt recover a lot o pictures and documents.
I ranned a recovery software on the drive but it only found win 7 files .
Can you help me opn how to recover my XP files???? im desperated.

Thanks in advanced.

Can you be a bit more specific about how you made the backup

As you say you deleted partition and formatted disk all info on that disk will be gone so i hope you backed it up elsewhere.
