Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
(CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
Two other points/questions:

1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:

  • Disconnected my account cloud on draw and lost all my projects... can I get back them?

    I have two accounts, one free staff and an account paying for the work of the clouds. I logged on my personal account in the draw to work on a project for work, but when I I am logged into my account personal, everything had gone. All my projects have disappeared, as if I had opened the app for the first time. Is it possible to get these back? And if can't, Adobe added a warning or some kind of alert letting you know that if you log out you will lose everything? I should mention that I tried logging back to the account of my work, and everything went from there, also.

    Thank you

    It is surprising to hear that you have lost all your projects. The app is designed to ban you from disconnection until all of your projects are properly saved on your CC account. If you sign up as long as someone else, all your previous projects will be deleted locally but they will still exist in the clouds. Once you sign in as a first-person, you should see all your content get synchronized down. Depending on your connection speed and the size of your projects, this synchronization may take some time to run. If you leave the application open for a little while, you see your projects begin to reappear?

  • I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?

    I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?

    The email you see in sent items. Is - this mail you thought you deleted a long time ago? If so, it almost sounds like you had an old identity.

    File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one list? If Yes, go to the other identity. If not, read on...

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery tools:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • I lost all my Muse Widgets in the library, how can I get back them?

    I lost all my Muse Widgets in the library, how can I get back them?

    Wait, so you mean the real Widgets in the Widgets Panel?

    Not the library where you can store your own stuff (users also tend to call these widgets...)?

    Could you give the name of this widget that you have installed, which seems to have caused harm?

    I think the best solution is to go to the Adobe CC , this Panel application where you can manage all Adobe applications. Uninstall Museand re-install it.

  • I hacked and lost the toolbars upper and lower (Start/clock). How can I get back them?

    I think I was hacked by a program called Claro. I don't know anything about. As a result, I lost the top and bottom toolbars in Firefox. Since then, I have used either and all is ok there. I still use FF. How can I get FF back up and running? Thanks for any help.

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

    If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse upward to make the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.

    Click the expand (in the top right Navigation bar) to exit full screen or right-click on an empty space on a toolbar and select "exit full screen" or press the F11 key.

    You can check for problems with the file localstore.rdf.

  • I hid all the photos of Facebook friends somehow and do not know how to restore them. Only if you are using Firefox - how can I get back them?

    I right click a picture on Facebook, to delete a photo, there was a message from Firefox, I said 'Yes' and all THE photos of friends disappeared, not only that I clicked. I don't know how to restore them. They are obvious when you use another browser is unique to Firefox.

    It is possible that you do not recognize the server that Facebook uses to store images.

    Another way to see what images are blocked is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar and click the button "additional information".

    This will open the Security tab of the window of the Information Page (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).

    Go to the Media of this Page Info window tab.

    Select the first image and scroll though the list with the arrow pointing downwards.

    If a link to the image is gray and there is a check mark in the box of block Images of... just above the area 'Preview Media' can remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

  • lost all my emails in my Inbox, how can I get back them

    I told myself I can communicate with Firefox and they can put back them. Is what if and how can I communicate with Firefox?

    Firefox is a Web browser, it has nothing to do with your emails. You can go to a site that displays your emails (uch like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc.) and check your emails using firefox, but Firefox has nothing to do with them. so no, to recover the lost emails mozilla can't help.
