xp missing profile after reinstall

hi , did a reinstall of xp (the 'r' command one, not a full), and my profile and data is 'missing',
not in the folder.

I tried MS article Q312942 :

Click Start, and then click Run.
Type cmd, and then click OK.
Type cd\, and then press ENTER.
Type cd\user~temp.@01, and then press ENTER.
Type dir /x, and then press ENTER. Note the short file name for the user account folder. For example, the short file name for "User Name, II." might be "USERNA~1".
Type ren userna~1 username, and then press ENTER
Type exit, and then press ENTER.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type %homedrive%\user~tmp.@01\username, and then click OK. This folder and subfolders should contain the files from the missing user account.

but the file was not found, I know it's still there as all my installed programs , etc. are still there and the size of used space
on the drive is the same,

any ideas? thanks
 
tried rstudio, full version, still wouldn't recover bigger than 64k

tried easyrecovery, it got maybe a 10th of my data, and then quits with an 'error reading disc'
message, any ideas, anyone ?
