How can I recover my old data settings document files firefox bookmarks and favorites of ie8.

I need to reinstall windows xp sp2 I turned off my pc by updating the os now I ask a question after the reinstallation of the sp2 would be it possible to recover my old data settings firefox favorites bookmarks of ie8 and norton antivirus 360 documents.

You might see if this folder is located on your computer.  Depending on how you installed Windows, it could be an old version of some files in pre-installation.

C:\Windows.Old\

But beyond that, there's no other place I could think that perhaps it would be after a reinstallation.

Shameless plug for the new version:
If you used Windows 8, all of your documents, files, Favorites, bookmarks are saved on your Microsoft Account so that you can use them even if you get a new computer (or reinstall an old one).

    If you had not reinstalled Vista, we helped you recover the product key of Vista for running old, Vista activated using specific programs.

    But, as you have wiped the hard and reinstall Vista, we will not help you recover the product key.

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

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

    Using recovery disks is normally not need to insert a product key.

  • Can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop?

    Original title: windows 8.

    Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!

    My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?

    No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.

    The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell desktop inspiron one 19

    I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!

    Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.

  • How can I recover my old favorites list after restoring my computer?

    I have a netbook Dell Wireless.  I had a problem of malworm and had to restore my computer to an earlier date.  Everything worked, however, my list of favorites is no longer there (it was very long and very valuable for me).  How can I recover my favorites who have been there?  I was told that I do not lose anything when I had to restore.  Help!

    Sometimes, a new folder is created when the registry is restored and the new folder is empty.

    Therefore, perhaps original folder still on the drive in which case you can copy its contents and paste them into the new Favorites folder is empty...

    would it be possible that the old folder with your Favorites is next to the new empty folder.

    try to do a "search" for "Favorites".

  • How can I transfer my old data of Firefox on my new Firefox in my new computer?

    My old computer died and I just took my other. After the data has been transferred to my new, I noticed that Firefox was missing. I downloaded it on the net. "I have a file called ' old data Firefox" which was created when I had problems before. How can I transfer to the new Firefox?

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    See:

    When you refresh/reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported.
    The current profile folder will be moved to "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop.
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

    It is possible to retrieve data from the "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop, but be careful not to copy the files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

    Hello

    A System Restore Point does NOT restore to a previous operating system Installation.

    This is misinformation.

    You don't say how Vista has been reinstalled.

    Looking for a windows.old folder and if you find one, see if you can save your data from it.

    If my profile has a virus and I deleted it, but before I did I chose to save the files to a different profile.

Does anyone know how I can get ALL my old files (photos, music, documents, Favorites, passwords, etc.)? Or at least some of them? Help, please!

    Hi samanthaswigert,


    Method 1:
    run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
    Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

    Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Method 2: Start the computer in safe mode and then try to access the Folder. To do this, follow the steps below:

    Access Advanced Startup menu options by turning on your computer and pressing the button F8 continuously until Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select Safe Mode


    Startup options (including safe mode)

    Method 3: Run an online scan to remove any threat remains on the computer.
