• Backup the files before reinstalling XP

  I'm trying to back up files before as I have reinstall XP Pro on my computer. Do not remember where to find my Outlook Express e-mail files and favorite files in Explorer.

  For the Favorites, the best way is in IE: file | Import and export and export favorites to any place on your HARD drive which is convenient and copy from there. Reseating the reinstallation, and then import them into OE.

  Your OE 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, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

• How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

  What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

  I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

  Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

  Thank you all!

  Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

  Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

  Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

  These things depend on the operating system and the file system.

  One thing, you can see: open one of these files damaged with a text editor, and then make sure that the constant % PDF is somewhere in the first 1024 bytes.

• How can you save dead MacBook using FireWire for iMac? I can view all the files on iMac, but don't know how to back up before, I reinstall MacBook.

  My MacBook Pro doesn't start then you want to erase and reinstall iOS. Before doing this I want to back up all my files. If I connect to imac via FireWire I can view all the files, but how can I save it it?

  If your MacBook will start in target disk Mode, follow the instructions on how to set up and use...

  But you do not want to share files, just to save them. You can make a "clone", using disk utility. For cloning utility purposes use a program likeSuperDuper! or double clone.

  What is recent vs vs document download. clydeneeley, etc.  I can't find the file I've worked before.  There are several of the same name.

  It's up to you to choose carefully where to save the file and choose the name carefully. If you don't do this, you will never find the file. But try using your Mac or Windows to search for the name.

• Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

  I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

  If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I upgraded my computer, the new operating system on a new hard drive. Want to get my favorites on Firefox off my old drive, but can't find the file.

  I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?

  You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:

  1. First display the hidden files and folders:
     • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Wi.../Show-hidden-files
  2. Then go to:
     • < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
  3. Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
  4. Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
  5. Then restore from them:

• How can I sort the files by filename length

  I started to migrate files from an old laptop to a new desktop computer and I use the directory command copy in search of my portable hard drive to backup file menu.

  The backup hard drive helped save more than one copy of a large number of files and did just the file name a lot more time so you can differentiate between the files.

  Unfortunately the Windows 7 search command (which allows you to search and sort out almost anything) will not allow me sort by file name length that seems the only way I can go in the new computer, once the files are copied and remove long file names. I can delete each one individually, but if I could simply sort by length of file name I then could highligth and remove all the longer file names at once. There are hundreds of them, and I don't have a whole day to do this.

  So, for clarity, I was about to put a screen print here, but can't so I type and show a simple example:

  NAME DATE MODIFIED DATE TYPE CREATES

  DSC01001 15/05/2012 4.09 PM JPEG image 15/05/2012 16:09

  DSC01001@6968 15/05/2012 4.09 PM JPEG image 15/05/2012 16:09

  DSC01002

  DSC01002@69868CFRETY

  The right of the file name field data is the same on all files so can not differentiate or sorting by any other method

  So if I could sort by filename above the longfiles would hopefully meet in order to be able to highlight and delete.

  Hope it makes sense.

  All the most nominated files do not have the symbol in the name of the file @?  If Yes, you can do a search on this basis:

  name: ~ = @.

  The ~ = part tells Windows 7 search to look anywhere in the file name.

  With respect to the long file name sorting, that wouldn't be feasible in Windows 7 search.  There is a way to copy a list of files in a window, paste into an Excel spreadsheet, a formula that counts characters, and then you could sort Excel based on numbers, but you would not be able to delete the files from Excel.
