I accidentally erased my recovery partition in my D-Drive on my new laptop and I am desperate to recover that information as I recently erased some sensitive information. I was not supplied with a system restore disc when I purchased this laptop but was given the suggestion that I burn my own. So can I gain anything by restoring my registry from a previous backup?

Anyone have a suggestion where I can download a free registry cleaner? Thanks for your help.

any suggestion. And if its possible if it has some sort of windows program to make a software cd backup or whatever its called?

I have had my computer for about 3 years and it is becoming slow because of registry errors and things of that nature. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a program that can help and clean up computer? I have a dell and I on XP. Thanks in advance.
