I thought my d drive wouldn't be touched by recovery->factory  procedure, so I lost my d: drive with music, pictures and film, but it seems they were backed up by the program prior to the recovery to factory setting procedure. How do I recover those files? It's not clear to see where you do it in the recovery manager.
