Medion Windows home vista; saved photos/files to D drive (recovery) by
accident. Medion support said too complicated to do over phone, ask someone
who knows about comps. I need to retrieve only my saved files, and not
interfere with recovery files on D drive. Can anyone please help? I cannot
clean up or retrieve data on D drive.

Thankyou - Lindy.

Boot with a live Linux cd and move the files to your C: drive

What is preventing you from accessing the D drive?

What happens when you try?

If it is hidden this might help.
