me for help.

Yup, some people know just enough to be truly dangerous :)
 
A friend of mine was downloading/applying SP3 and (I was not present and
don't know the details) something went very wrong.  When they rebooted,
their computer still functioned but no drivers were loaded and their
programs and documents were apparently lost.

System restore was no help.

Is there a way to recover their documents?

Hi,

You can try recovering lost data with Windows data recovery software,
which is quite efficient in its recovery capabilities..
