One possibility that I might suggest is to buy a couple of USB memory keys
and move every file that you can find  in whichever user folders on your
'C;' drive to folders with similar names on one of the USB keys.  Then try
to pick out the files that appear to have data that belongs in your final
data file and use them to reconstruct your file on the other USB key.  Plan
a method that allows you to keep track of which files you have checked and
keep them afterwards as backup in case you need to make another try.
