    Recovering files in Windows XP Mode


    Hi,

    I have a problem. After working for an entire afternoon in Windows XP mode (Windows 7 Professional, using an old version of Corel Photo Paint, not compatible with Windows 7), I exited the virtual machine with the option to remove all changes (the undo disk was enabled). I don't know how I could do that!! I was distracted by a phone call...

    My question is: is there any way to recover my files (e.g. using those programs I have heard about which recover deleted files)? Or everything in the virtual machine is really and irremediably destroyed when quitting it disacarding changes?

    Thank you!

    Welcome to SF!

    The only way I can think of to try is using recovery software like Recuva or Disk Digger.

    I don't know how they will work in a virtual machine. You may be out of luck.
