How can I recover my old files?

If my profile has a virus and I deleted it, but before I did I chose to save the files to a different profile. When I went to click on it, the folder was empty, but he says that the folder had files it contains. When I'm on the new profile and tried to copy that I couldn't. 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

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

  • How can I recover all my files that I lost in an accident? I had to use my system recovery disk and install drivers for my computer again. I lost all my files. Is there something I can do?

    Help!  How can I recover all my files that I lost?  I was answering an e-mail message when I heard a couple of clicks then my computer off.

    I thought that my computer was destroyed.  Nothing I tried would bring it to the top, so I decided to use the system recovery disc that

    came with my computer.  I've also downloaded all the drivers for the application.  My computer is back on, but I lost everything.

    It's like putting into service with a new computer.  I had a lot of important information in the files that I lost.  I've tried everything I know to do

    without success.  Is it still possible to recover these lost files?  Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but when you did the recovery of the system you have disabled your hard drive of everything, including your files.

    You now have a new computer.

    You can try this program (it's free) to see if he 'can' find and recover your files. no guarantee:

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • How can I combine an old file history browsing in the current?

    Several weeks ago my PC C: drive has been replaced, and Firefox has been recreated before I could copy on my old profile to the new drive. Now I want to recover the old browsing history, but of course the new profile already has his own, more recent places.sqlite file, that I don't want to lose.

    How can I combine the two stories?

    It is not possible.

    You cannot merge the history.

    One way to do this would be to use a separate profile and copy the file places.sqlite this profile (file delete an existing places.sqlite-journal).

    Use him copy / paste to copy the elements of the story in a folder of bookmarks in the Menu folder bookmarks.

    Export Favorites to an HTML file and import this HTML file in the current Firefox profile.

  • How can I recover my old account?

    Ive tried to access an old account of mine Skype. I haven't used in years, but it is important for me to get on it because I need to communicate with a friend to an important problem and I don't have their email or Skype name. the thing is my old password does not work and the old email address for the account has been deleted long ago. How can I do to reset my password, I had never bought Skype credit with this account also. Is there a way I can reset the password?

    If you no longer have the email you used to create the account and that you never paid for any purchase with that account, you're out of luck.

    For security reasons, the only way to recover a lost password is to the email address registered with Skype from the individual, or purchase history details.

  • How can I recover my old email after you have reinstalled Windows 7?

    Under the direction of the MS Support, in order to solve a problem, I had to reinstall Windows 7. After installation, all my old email was absent. Support MS staff member told me that he was not trained to retrieve my email and sent me a link to try it on my own. I failed miserably. I managed to get a few email (Comcast) but only from the date of the re - install and none of my old stuff. In fact I managed to do it in triplicate. As you can see I'm not a computer person. Can someone help me? I need step by step instructions.
