Hello

Case A: If you don't plan to install a fresh OS:
To recover :
Recover my files pro 4.9.4
Or
R-Studio5.4.134259 Network edition
Or
Easy Recovery Professional v6.22
Avoid to install any new program on hard before recovering.
Each time try to recover one or two types of files .
Some files can recover more successful than others ,for example AVI can recover better than mov.
Before starting READ their manual very carefully.
2-Save recovered files on an external hard.
3-after these all,install "
Acronis PC Backup & Recovery 2013 "It is a highly recommended program,read its manual first.
4-Make a fully back up from installed OS and other Partitions as well,save them in an external hard unless your computer cannot boot from an external source (See its Boot abilities),in this case keep the backup of partition C on your hard but in an individual partition for example E.
5-Now you can work on your computer safely.
Try to make more free space on partition C(at least %50 free space),more free space on the partition C=more speed.
You may need to use some partition utility programs such as "Partition magic"(Newer than V 8.5) or "Partition wizard 2013".by
this second one test your hard surface if it has bad sectors and fix them.
6-Update all of your drivers (then create another backup from partition C).
7-Try to shift installed program from partition C to another partition for example D ( if there is) this is not recommended if you plan to install plug-in on a specific program after installing it.
8-Defragment the partition C regularly.
9-Defragment the registry and use a good utility to keep it healthy
-registry first aid or Uniblue registry scanner are some good examples.
you should make a back up from your registry first.
START MENU>RUN>type" Regedit" press Enter
Choose Export to save a copy of it.
10-some utilities can make your computer faster,don't try them unless you can be sure of their results,sometimes they damage installed programs.
You can Use the Windows tools or "Uniblue" products to defragment your partition(not registry)
Right Click on partition>properties>Tools>"Defragment Now...".
before this try to free your ram for example turn off Anti Virus.
11-Use NOD or something like that as antivirus ,other programs may make your computer very slow.
12-Move all of your data on an external hard.Keep it ready .a good idea is installing an external hard to the network to share it.
