Get my data sorted after recovering the pc after reinstalling windows xp recovery disk

Hello

I have an advent 3217 running xp sp3 and after the most recent windows update failed I put on by accident and was then trapped in a reboot loop who gave me an error code of c000021a. I tried pressing F8 and try all the options, but nothing worked. So I used my advent recovery disk that came with my pc to perform a RECOVERY of SYSTEM NON-FORMAT that got my pc to the top and run it again, but completely back to basics. I now have a folder in my hard drive called (MY OLD DISK STRUCTURE) which has all the data from my old and while she.

Is it possible to simply transfer everything back to the new folder of Windows, restart and have everything back to normal or not?

Need help... anyone?

Thank you

Unliklely that might work.

Find your stuff (under "Online and Settings\" and copy that you go back to your new configuration.)

Although it is nice they have presented you a non-destructive system restore ("Advent" I guess...)  A repair facility with a real Windows XP installation CD would probably have been less destructive/disruptive.  :-(

    Hello

    Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

    It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

    Since you've reinstalled windows, you will need to re - install applications once again, you will be lucky (if you format the drive) data on your computer. You remember that location, it was in my documents? If yes it just open C:\Documents and settings and locate your old username, you will find your old desktop, Favorites and Documents.

  • After reinstall Window Vista 32 bit, I can't move the slider to increase the resolution of the screen, how do I solve this problem

    My Dell Inspiron 530 sudenlly crashed, I could not start it. I called for the support of a group that I paid for. Technicians helped me start the PC, but they could not fix the screen resolution: in the display settings window, the cursor is on the left end of the bar, the low position and could not be moved. The technician finally asked me to save the folders files and reinstall Windows Vista. After the relocation, the screen resolution problem persisted. Technicians then reformat the HD, then reinstall Windows Vista again, the result was the same. We cannot change the resolution. Help, please.

  • Impossible to update after reinstalling Windows 7

    I have a computer Dell XPS 8300. When I bought the computer I bought a reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit DVD with key code. I upgraded the computer to Windows 10, but repeated difficulties experienced with the installation of the updates. The last update, I have installed produces a blank screen on the computer. I decided to replace the two hard drives in this computer with the 1 TB SSD.   I replaced the drive and reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate. Everything except the Windows Update works fine. I'm unable to update this computer.  When I click on update Windows I get update with scrolling green picture screen in the toolbar icons, but nothing happens.  I'm not worried reinstalling Windows 10, given the problems that I had.  Dell says that this computer has not been tested for compatibility with Windows 10.

    I was surprised that Windows 7 has made request not to be activated after installation.  I right click the Start button in Windows and selected properties, but there was no indication that I need activate this version of Windows 7.  I have the key code and I did not change the motherboard. I don't understand why the Windows Update program does not work, or what I can do to solve the problem. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I was unable to activate Windows 7.  I tried the Windows 7 update problems difficulty in the Windows Control Panel without success. Someone at - it solutions to this problem? Thank you for your help.

  • Need help with the formatting and reinstalling windows

    Hi, I have a Compaq Presario C700 p/n GR598EA #ABU I got to work about 3 years ago.

    Recently, it does not load windows, even in safe mode and I can't get back either.

    I used a disc to boot from linux to access and backup of all my important files and now I want to reformat the hard drive, resintall windows and start over (or try something else which will fix it)

    The laptop has been pre-installed with Windows Vista and HP stuff had already installed on it.  I don't have a Windows disc or discs of driver with the laptop.

    How can I format and reinstall windows and drivers, if I don't have records?

    Help, please.

    Thank you.

  • How much time after reinstalling window 7 32 Home Premium it take before that receive updates?

    * Original title: update Windows 7

    How long after reinstalling window 7 32 Home Premium does it take before that receive updates.

    Should be immediately the minute that an Internet connection is detected. I would advise that you install updates Windows Update batch well. There are about 300 post SP1 updates, more if you have reinstalled the version Windows 7 RTM.

    My recommendation would be to install updates in batches, these 5 at a time, exclude the hardware/driver updates. Avoid installing a set of updates for Microsoft Windows and Office at the same time. Also, try to install the first small updates. Avoid installing things like the .NET Framework and SQL Express updates.
    Whenever you install updates (it's a chore, but it guarantees a more reliable experience). Try to start the Microsoft Office updates for programs such as (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
    Another thing, try to download the updates, and then install them. When you are prompted to restart, disconnect from the Internet and restart your computer.
    To proceed with the installation of additional updates.
    If the continuous computer to become unresponsive, try the following:

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page.  But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously.  Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode.  Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers.  If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode.  Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.
    I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  • After Reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening PSD files.

    After Reinstalling windows 7 has stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what is the problem. And how to fix it. Thank you.

    Maybe these files have been corrupted. I can't say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?

    If so, it is very rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try to reinstall photoshop. Then check that these files have been opened or not. In the opposite case. Then the only solution is a special software. I would use this program http://www.photoshop.recoverytoolbox.com/ on your site

    (it is not free but is very good and is not expensive. But in the future you will be immune to such situations. )

  • I get the message "Windows is not genuine" after reinstalling windows

    4 years ago, I bought my laptop (HP ProBook s 4310) with Windows 7 pre-installed, without any disk. A month ago, I formatted my HDD and reinstalled windows. First of all, I found my key windows (using "magical jelly bean"), then downloaded an iso of Windows 7 from Digital River, installed and used my previous key.

    Now, I get this non-genuine message. Since I initially bought windows and that the seller does not gives me any drive, I think not that I did something wrong. Someone knows a solution to this problem?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • Windows Vista. I can't restore data from backup after reinstalling windows.

    Regularly, I backed up my Dell laptop Vista hard disk independent. I just had to reinstall windows and now when I go to restore my data, I get a message saying the backup location is not available. I ran a backup on the same drive as before, but the problem remains. Even backup always lists all the backups I made before resettlement. How can I restore my data?

    Here's an article from someone who was essentially the same problem as you and finally resolved itself do the restore again (although some other suggestions can help more in your situation). http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/f9d74b19-5eec-4453-a3b4-ff11940ec83a.

    Frankly, at this point, I'm puzzled.   I don't know what else to try.  Maybe someone with more knowledge (a support technician or MVP) will read and respond to this topic.  I suggest you try this announcement in the Technet forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/threads.  They are a little more technically oriented than here and may be able to find a solution to your problem.

    Good luck and I hope you get your problem resolved and can recover your lost .pst files. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.
