Recently, I had to replace the hard drive in my computer after getting a message saying it was starting to show errors (I have an older computer, but it still runs good). I was able to backup my files before the HD crashed, and I got a new HD installed and reinstalled the OS. When I recovered my data, for some reason, none of my Documents made it through; although I still managed to recover my picture and music files. I still have the old HD, although it's not hooked up to anything right now. It still works, although it's on its last leg. Is there any way I might be able to recover the document files from it; without reinstalling it on my computer?

Ok, you must have copied your system's OS onto the backup rather than your documents, so after the OS backed up, there was no room left for your personal files. You should have backed up your personal files to a flash drive or the backup drive instead of the OS. You can always buy another copy of the OS, but you cant buy another copy of your files. If possible, reinstall your old drive and try to copy your personal files to a flash drive, and then install the new one. The final step is to transfer the documents to the new HD. Hope this helps!
