I turned on my laptop yesterday and a message came up saying it had a problem and it needed to do a system restore, but when it was trying to do it, it came up saying there was no recent restore point so it wouldn't do it. I've tried several times and still to no avail. I'm afraid that I am gonna lose all my music and pictures of my laptop. So my question is, "Is there any where I could send my laptop to so that they could get all my data back and put it onto a USB stick or DVD?" Is that possible? I don't mind about my laptop I just want my Data back. Thanks for the help :) (link)

Very frustrating when people who don't even know what the system restore function of Windows is answer questions like this one, isn't it?
Ok, yes, you can access your data. There are a few ways this can happen:
You can send it off to a data recovery house. This is very expensive.
You can get a local computer shop to do it for you. This carries the risk that they don't know what they are doing.
You can get the same shop to remove the drive from your laptop and install it into an external drive case. This will let you plug the drive into the USB port of another computer and read the data. You may then burn it to DVD, thumb drives or whatever.
The only caveat to this is if the drive is mechanically damaged. If so, what data you get back could be very limited. If this is the case, you don't want amateurs messing with the drive. Anything mission critical on there would really be best retrieved by a professional data recovery team.
If you can't find a trusted local computer person, I may be willing to help you with this when I have the time. I have been doing this for more than 25 years.
Send me an inbox message if it comes to that, and we can exchange contact info.
