How to retrieve a dead computer favorites.
My computer crashed and it took several valuable bookmarks. I used Firefox OS. Now I have a new computer and use Firefox OS. Can I retrieve the bookmarks on the dead computer and store them on the new?
He died how? What I mean by that is, the hard drive still work? If your new computer is a desktop PC, usually it will have space to install the old hard drive as a second drive (slave), which you can send, say, the E drive to extract your old data. If your new computer is a laptop, often you can use a USB drive caddy or connector to attach your old hard drive as external storage to retrieve your old data.
Setting of the old hard disks would be more by another forum. Your data occur in your old profile folder, whose location depends on the operating system on the old computer. You may need to turn off default behavior Windows hide folders important to track.
Then when you find the bookmarkbackups folder, you can restore these backups. (Note that this will replace any bookmarks you have added to your new computer. If you want to save those, first export it to HTML format, then do the restore, import them the HTML file that you created, then clean the organization.)
The following sections cover these points:
- Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

- Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer
- Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks

all my files were deleted and I don't know how to retrieve them.
Original title: maintenance cleaning disc
all my files were deleted and I don't know how to retrieve them.
Hi BarbaraJenkins,
· How do you delete files?
· Did you remove them permanently? (Shift + delete)
· What is the operating system installed on the computer?
You can check if the files are available in the Recycle Bin
Windows 7: recover files from the Recycle Bin
Windows Vista: recover files from the Recycle Bin
If there are no files in the Recycle Bin, then unfortunately, you maybe not be able to recover their return.
However, try looking for a third-party software that can help you to do. You may need to search the Internet.

How can I get my computer to recognize this boot disk?
Hello
I followed the instructions on how to create an installer for OS X El Capitan bootable. I've set up on a USB key.
But how do I get my computer to recognize it as a bootable disk? If I go into system under the startup disk Preferences, it is not there. If I restart the machine by pressing the Option key, it does not an option to boot from the USB key.
What should I do to get my machine to recognize it as a bootable disk?
The reason why I'm trying to do this is so I can disassemble the hard drive and run the disc utilities. Is there an easier way to do it?
Thank you
Bruce Fairbanks
Well, you can always use the recovery mode: starting with the down command + R right after the chime. Hold down the keys until you see a progress bar. Take some time to connect to the Apple servers. When you see a utility window, choose disk utility to check your drive.
What is the problem with your hard drive?
With regard to your USB key: what instructions did you use? You formatait the thing first of all it is bootable? I him did not because I prefer the bootable clones, so I can't be specific help with this.
