You need your wallet if you want your bitcoins. Essentially your wallet stores the information that proves that you own those 3 bitcoins. If you have a backup of your exported wallet, then you can import it into the new client. However if you did not make a backup of your wallet, then you should definitely undo the systems restore.

This shows that your 1138A... address did indeed receive 3 bitcoins.

There's a whole lot of people who have no idea what the wallets are. It needs to be made clear that the wallet is fairly important from the start.
