Can I recover files lost in an OS Install??

I reinstalled Vista, was drowsy and was sure I must have backed up important files, now I find that I did not... I did not format the hdd fortunately. Is there a way to uninstall Vista , take it back to the previous installation, or get the files back?
 
You can remove problem boot drive and make it a slave drive on another computer. Hopefully you should be able to get to your files that you want.

Thanks, i did find the file, it was an Openquant project. There were a number of difficulties just finding it, it was in a hidden folder for openers, then I discovered that it was in a place where the Vista search function just does not bother to look anyhow. I was not able to get it to open with Openquant but I was able to open the code file with Wordpad on an XP machine [I swear, Vista is still not really prime time material]. The code was the only important thing, I can paste it into a new project and I'm up and running.... where's that Aspirin bottle, some blow would feel good right now too... wait, I think it was drugs that got me in this mess in the first place probably :)
