To be clear, I am NOT talking about recovering documents or general files from the Documents folder- I already have a backup of those- I'm talking about recovering files from the C:\ drive itself... most particularly, my SimCity3000 Unlimited saved cities (pretty much the last thing from my old computer that I haven't been able to find and save)
