  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.

  Vista crashes-cannot recover save point.  a way to recover lost files and avoid crashing.

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  See you soon.

• How can I recover deleted files?

  Hello

  Yesterday, I deleted the 2 files form the office. I think they were "desktop.ini" file or similar. I deleted them because I thought that some programs created to do something not important.
  Then I realized they were system files that were there from the beginning, but they were hidden files. I don't know how the configuration changed to see these files, I changed didn¡t.
  Anyway, I tried to get back them through the 'system restore', but it did not work. I'm worried because it's a new laptop and I don't know if this would affect the system. I also scanned the disc for the virus, but it did not show anything.
  Please tell me how can I recover these files safely (do not install programs that I don't know who created them).
  Mi computer system is Windows Vista Home Basic.
  Thank you very much

  Diego.

  Diego_21, thanks for posting on the Microsoft forums.

  Desktop.ini is a file of parameters for your desktop, if it is deleted it will be recreated automatically the next time you start upward. If you choose however to try to recover a file of permanent deletion there are many applications of freeware that you can use. Just use your favorite search engine.

  If you need help please reply.
  Kind regards

  You cannot retrieve files deleted with the help of software. And even using
  software, you may or may not be able to recover.

  What you have against the use of software? The first thing to try is to
  being trash. If she isn't here, read on.

  "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
  also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
  sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
  the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
  the unrecoverable file.

  So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
  Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
  downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
  example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
  be very poor now.

  But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
  using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
  already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)

  others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer (do not

  If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
  a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
  expensive and may or may not work in your case.

• How can I recover music files lost due to synchronization with another device?

  My music files have been on my Ipod Touch, then during what I thought, it was a normal synchronization, all my music disappeared from my IPod. I tried to sync again and it is still missing. Also, all my music went from ITunes.

  My computer is a PC.

  Is it possible for me to recover the files?

  Hi clowdnyne,

  With a few exceptions, all the music that you purchased through the iTunes Store, or when you use iTunes on your Windows computer or on your iPod touch, can be downloaded from the store once again, if it is still available on the store. See this article - download your past purchases.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
