sometimes when you do a recovery, it just installs windows over the existing installation, leaving all your files in tact but perhaps in a different place. Go to your Start Menu, open up My Computer, go to your C: drive. Now look up to that top right of that screen and find the search bar. Enter in *.mp3 and hit enter and let it search for your stuff. You can also do *.jpeg to find your pictures as well.

If you can't find anything then go to your C: drive. There should be a folder named Users and you should be able to find your account or user name. If you see your old username and your new username (assuming you only had 1 to begin with) then the old username folder should have all of your old files in it. If that folder is locked i can tell you how to get around that as well. If you only have the default or new username there, go and poke around in there and see if you can find your files.

Aside from those options you can try recovery programs like recovermyfiles, there's a bunch of them, they can recover deleted files if they haven't been written over already.
 
Download a torrent for: Recovery My Files. Put in license key, crack whatever. Do a "full scan" this can take a really long time but just let it run it's course. After the scan is complte, save the results incase the shitty program freezes and have to scan all over again. Now you can start recovering your files.
 
Or just use one of the billion free file recovery tools instead of stealing one, you ass.

Delete hal.dll in C:/Windows/System32 and it should be fine. Or at least something will be fine. Idk what.
