HELP PLEASE! I lost about 400 GB of MP4 (film and audio book) using Chkdsk files. He repaired broken sectors/files regardless, but it changed the extentions. How can I find new extensions? they are there, but I don't know how to find them.
I have Vista Home Premium. I have a huge media collection for my ipod. I save all my video files and files on an external hard drive (my book 500 GB) audiobook while they clutter up my internal drive and so I can store them where my internal drive has failed somehow... Well I got the opposite happens. I started to get my video files would not open in their records. I ran Chkdsk utility to "fix" the files. When the program has finished running he had a Msg: something has changed the names of files and everything I was supposed to go to the files and the rear switch (as far as I can remember... I don't wear SPECIAL attention for the MSG that I thought it was normal and the program would take me to the files when it was done... ERROR. All desktop shortcuts no longer find files directly by going to my computer, then by looking at the HD I cannot find the files. I used the program REcuva file hippo and it restores the few files that have been deleted out of the dirve and allowed to see some of the video files and audio books (but no tag info remained on the recovered files. I had to so I would like to know what they rename them). Other than these few files... less than 20 I t help either. Records that they are still there, but it asks me to open files with a program from a list of choices and not of the program draw files. (the choice to choose this high program open this type of file is also blacked out). Also when I run the cursor over the records of the size of the files do not match wat I know should be in the files. But if I just look at the my computer screen and run the cursor over the icon of the letter itself it show that there is 435 + GB hard disk info and 50 + GB of space left on it.
A few questions:
1. is it possible to see all the possible msg that the command chkdsk can generate so I can find that he gave me when he fixed my files?
2 - How can I find these files if I don't know the extensions I'm looking for? they were for quicktime mp4 files, but I don't know now.
3 - If the drive to my drive internal and try to list the backup files is located on the drive where I'd start trying to open the files?
4 do I just need to cut my losses and reformat the hard disk, crying over 2 years, he took me to build the library and start over again >? (at least I kept some of my files from itunes library since itune on DVD about 1.5 years ago (about 300 GB of data there))
And by the way the reader is set up to the FAT 32 format, that I did not know until this all happened.
Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. You should also check the box to see the system and hidden files while you're there. This should show you the extensions of all files if that is the problem. You can then rename the files for extensions are associated with a program that will open and read the files (you may need to experiment first with some programs to find one that works and an extension that works if they have been changed). I don't know any way to do this for all files at once - they will have to be renamed individually (yes - I realize counts the number of files involved, but I know of no program in Vista or even a 3rd party program that will change the extensions for a group of files at a time - you can check for yourself on www.tucows.com and www.download.com).
Desktop Shortcuts no longer work because either the file type of the source file has changed and the shortcut does not open the file, or because the file has been moved and the shortcut can not find the path. You should be able to check the path by finding files (whatever they are now called) and see if they are in the same directories in path as they were before this happened. I think it's because the source file works more correctly because of the extension (or corruption).
Recuva to recover lost or deleted files - not the files that are on the system (and you won't not solve your problem by deleting them and then use Recuva to recover because it sounds like the problem is with the extensions and Recuva is not going to be able to correct it (it is not part of his program)).
There's no list of ALL possible messages that might be generated by chkdsk I know. Here is an article on the chkdsk command works in XP and some messages it generates - but far from everything and nothing look like the one you receive (and it works essentially the same under Vista): http://www.isd518.net/District/TechDir/Help/Chkdsk.htm.
The backup on your internal hard disk drive will not solve the problem - just move it. The 'damage' to the files are already done a backup now will not solve anything. The fact that the drive is set up in format FAT32 is not the question (and probably not the question in the first place is) and change to NTFS now is not going to solve the problem (although you can do that after all this has been resolved).
I won't tell you to cut your losses - this is a pretty drastic step and there may still be other options (although I don't know myself). You can take the reader to a recovery expert data (NOT Geek Squad or one of these other major centres to store) which may be able to recover some, most, or all files. It will be expensive and only you can decide if it's worth the cost. These people usually the game fee and do not offer a guarantee of recovery - even if they don't recover anything you always pay. The decision is yours.
If none of this works, transfer your question in images and videos Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where people who specialize in issues related to the video may be able to help with your problem, since it's video files.
I hope this helps.
Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

as noted, my pix is on an external drive (pc), my catalogs are on the same drive. where are my backups being stored i cant seem to find them. If I open the folder lightroom with the name of the catalog on the outside, all I see is a bunch of files labeled 1,2,3, etc. and has, b, c.
shouldn't there be a folder labeled bacvkups?
If you have enabled the option to make catalog backups (you?) then your backups are in any case, indicate when the backup dialog box is displayed when you close Lightroom. If you enable the option to make backups of catalog, then you have not all backups.
Yoou can use the search function of your operating system to find the files on all hard disks that have a name that ends with. LRCAT to find all possible backups.
Note: the functionality of catalog in Lightroom backup makes a Backup of your file to catalog only. He doesn't have backups of your photos, you have to do it through other methods.
Note: backups SHOULD go on a different drive than the originals; you make a terrible mistake if you put them on the same disk as the original.

The ability to rotate the screen image is a characteristic of your video

an arrow key.Rotate using these keys.

To generate a pop-up, but I don't know how it's called. Please help a noob.
I saw this type of pop-up windows a lot with news sites and the artist portfolios and I want to appear on a product site I'm building, but I don't know what they are called so I can't find the code to help me to build.
Essentially, there is a photo or another link on the main site and when the veiwer clicked, the site goes dark gray and the pop-up "fills" the screen and give a larger view of the image or the image with additional text. Sometimes there are directional arrows for more views and then there are the 'X' to close the pop-up and the main site goes back to normal.
What we call that? Once I know I can Google how build it!
Thank you all very much.

Help please.
Hi Francois,.
Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find the answers related to Windows.
According to the description, it seems you are trying to delete videos from Xbox movies.By default the video app will appear in the video window Library locations, and then the video application can detect the content automatically from the video library.I suggest you open Windows Video Library and check if the videos are there are.a. in Windows 8 start screen, tap or click out of office. This will open the classic view from the office.
b. tap or click File Explorer (the Manila folder next to the icon of Internet Explorer icon).
c. under libraries, tap or click on videos.Keep us informed on the status of the issue.If you need Windows guru, do not hesitate to post your questions and we will be happy to help you. -
Fuze sees no podcasts but I know they are there
My computer is running XP, service pack 3
Firmware is v01.02.26A
Down under settings of the "rocket" says I have 0 songs.
The "rocket" is in MSC mode. I slipped and dropped to a folder that contains podcasts in the Podcast Directory and the directory of the music, but the "rocket" don't know they are there. I can see them when the "rocket" is connected to my computer and I am using Windows Explorer, but when I disconnect the player it says "no songs". When I reconnect the drive, the computer always see the files.
Also, when I use the 'disconnect hardware safely' on my computer to disconnect the "rocket", my computer tells me it is offline, but the "rocket", said still "connected".
I use PodNova and juice to catch and download podcasts on my computer. I used the same method on my Sansa E250 and it worked perfectly.
One more thing that I just noticed. There is a special podcast that I can see and play. I just download it. I can't see it if it is in a subdirectory music or Podcast, but I can see it if it's right there. Its genre tag is classic, or so it says in ID3 Editor Lite 1.4 v is otherwise likely to be the problem? (I'll check and after an update, but now when I try to 'disconnect' it I get a message saying that the device cannot be stopped, so I shut down my computer, which means I'm going to lose this screen).
Beta version? It is of version 2.44
You can also find it at CNET download.com.
It is a very well established and stable program. Not some software by weird night. More than 100,000 people have gotten only CNET.
You must set the default (Tools/Options/Mpeg/Tags, write to ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1), browse to the file (file/change directory or by double-clicking the file and find mp3tag in the menu), highlight and save, it is converted to the correct version. Once the default value is set, it takes less than a second.
Make sure you edit the file on your rocket, not on your computer, or if you want to be completely meticulous about it delete the file on your rocket, difficulty that a your computer and send it again.
If you really set the tag with mp3tag, and a properly labeled podcast is on the "rocket", I'm puzzled that your rocket can't not - so in Podcasts, then under music. (If you're in mp3tag, give it a name you find and call the "Podcast" Genre.)
You asked, why is it so difficult? Because the ID3 tags are not normalized.

I think you may have (or get) a virus or other malware/parasites that some of you changed may be used in Internet Explorer. You should run a Malwarebytes scan on your machine: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Reset the settings of your Lan IE:
In the menu Tools of IE, select Internet Options, then click on the 'Connections' tab and then click on the button "network settings." Deselect the options (remove all checkmarks that might be present).
Reset IE advanced settings:
While staying in Internet Options, click on the "Advanced" tab and then click on the button 'Restore advanced settings'.
