xp restore points...

[sntnt]

Is it possible to go back further than the system restore points with XP or another restore program? I lost my back up cd I made before I restored my system. After backing up my files I launched the system restore and did not use any restore points. My pictures should still be on the hard drive, but the only restore point I have inside the restore points is the day I restored, if I could only get back one day in this restore system my arss would be saved. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not totally sure I understand the question but I'll give it a shot. If you mean by "restored my system" you formatted the drive and reinstalled the operating system, then...

XP's system restore only records system files so even if it had a restore point on the date you want, none of your data files would be there.

Any restore software, like GoBack, would have had to be installed and making restore points before you did the restoration in order to have the lost pictures saved. Even then, unless you backed up the program's restore points onto CD or another drive, it would be lost during the reformat.
