How to restore Windows Mail which has been saved before re-formatted drive?

to back up Windows Mail before my hard drive has been erased and operating system installed.  I already tried to 'copy' the folder on the external drive to the computer, but the files do not appear.  I had a bunch of different folders for all all kinds of email and newsletters I receive - hope I didn't lose them!  How can I get the drive external hard to the computer now?   I am running Vista Home Premium.  Thank you.

  • How to restore a file that has been lost and partially restored?

    I have it has not deleted, but when I started my computer a scan of indexing was performed for a deleted file.  What was restored was an older version of the deleted file.  There were parts of other files deleted also.  Or old version have been restored instead of the current version.

    I have it has not deleted, but when I started my computer a scan of indexing was performed for a deleted file.  What was restored was an older version of the deleted file.  There were parts of other files deleted also.  Or old version have been restored instead of the current version.

    It should be a little clearer, at least for me.

    What do you mean by "a scan of indexing was performed?

    What do you mean by "shares of other files deleted also?

    How the file was restored?

    Do you mean that you have run a chkdsk and it detected disk errors and attempted to remedy and that you are now looking to the files created by chkdsk (*.chk files)?

    The computer is configured to automatically perform a disk check.  He said this morning it was running a check disk and restore one of my files.  This file has been restored to a version much sooner, as well as several other files when I checked later.  I ran a check of the index that says he would restore the files, but that did not help.  It will only run chkdsk.  I think I'll have my paid gurus do.  Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

    _____________________________________________________________

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    ____________________________________________________________

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  • My messagestore Windows Mail file has been damaged.

    My file that I use to store emails from Windows Mail has been altered somehow. It is under \AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsMail\WindowsMail.MSmessagestore

    I can not get the Import Wizard to find and use the file above. I can locate if I go through my computer, but when I click on the file it just open Windows Mail.

    Is anyway to fix this corrupted file? Or even just to rename so I can get in to see saved emails?

    Help! Any ideas?

    TIA!

    The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is only a database that contains information about the messages.  It contains no messages.  The messages are in directories named after the names of folders in WinMail and are stored individually as eml files.  So if you are looking for messages, search *.eml.  Seewww.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background.

  • Where to buy a key legitimate to correct a purchased copy of Windows 7 which has been hacked?

    I bought a copy of windows 7 ultimate at a private person, and he has proved to be a pirated version.  I am looking to buy a legal key.  No matter if I buy a full version or an upgrade key since my computer just asks me to enter a valid key?

    Hello

    I'm sorry to hear that you bought a pirated version.

    You can buy a key for the full version that you have nothing to upgrade.
    Also I suggest that you do a full reinstall as you never know if the pirated version has been tampered with.

    You can buy it here:

    Hello

    Drive G is usually used by business networks to store user information. You company Help Desk or system administrators should be able to help recover the deleted user information.

    If not on personal computers (XP) it is usually c:\documents and settings\ {username}

    but you should be able to find it in your Recycle Bin and recover from there (if you have not already emptied your recycling bin).
