If this recovery cannot be applied to your computer (which is only is a few instances), you should think about finding permanent, safe way to backup your data. You should think of setting up a data disaster recovery plan. There are a variety of different ways to back up your data, depending on the nature of the data and how often it is updated. If you do not update your data very often, you can go with a simple backup such as CDs, data disks, or an external hard drive.
