The answer is yes if the information is on your C drive (Primary partition), when you do a recovery it reformats and may even partition the drive, then it will recover (put in original condition as the day you bouht it). The recovery process will wipe out ALL files and All programs that you put on the machine after you bought it.

One possible way to save data files is to remove the hard drive and install it in another machine and then copy the files you want to save to the that machine. Then take your hard drive and reinstall in your machine an do the recovery. Any programs that been installed after you bought the machine will have to be REINSTALLED not copied.

Before you do this though see is you can go back and do a restore from an earlier date. May take a couple or more trys.
