    First thing to check is your trash, bak files that are backups of dbx files, that are made before the compaction.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 if there is no file bak then your only chance at recovery is DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) which has an excerpt from disc feature that will analyze the entire hard drive for messages disk clusters and if they are still on the hard drive, it will recover them.

    The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

    Please do * not * leave the text above in a question to ask you. Delete it.
    It has nothing to do with your question. And please ask your question
    in the body of the message, not in the title.
     
    How to get deleted? If you remove them normally, they must be
    in the trash. If they are not, read point 1 below (but also pay
    Special notice to the point 2):
     
    1. "deleting" a file does not actually delete it just marks the
    available space be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.
     
    So your chances of successfully recovering these files are decent if
    you try to recover immediately after their deletion and quickly
    down from there. If you use the computer since
    (for example to read this answer and write that question), your
    chances may be very weak now.
     
    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
    others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer and bring
    it to you on a floppy disk, CD or USB to try.
     
    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
    a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
    expensive and may or may not work in your case.
     
    2. If you have files that are important to you, and you do not
    back them up regularly, you are playing with fire. It is not a question
    to know if you lose them, it's a question of * when *. You could

  • All Documents and the missing photos after a system restore, what happened, and how can I recover my files?

    Hello
    All of my documents and photos are missing after a system restore. Here's the story. A virus called "Windows Recovery" popped up earlier and I did a system restore to get rid of him. To restart the computer, all my files and photos were missing. I used the system restore in the past in similar situations and have never had any problems. I opened MS Office, and I found some documents in the recent documents list. They open up fine and I saved them, but is only some of the documents. I can find the files in my documents when I do a search on them, but they are empty, when I open them. I also find some pictures and documents when I do a search for them by name, but I remember only a few file names, so I can't retrieve many files this way.

  • Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

    Hello

    Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
    "Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
    Press F2 to assume. »

    I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

    Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

    I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

    Help, please

    Pete

    Hello

    This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
    This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
    It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
    It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

    I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
    I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

  • How can I recover the files deleted by Sync Center? I created files while offline connection, then when I am connected once again, they were deleted from my computer.

    I keep files synced between my laptop and our server using under Windows Sync Center.  Normally, this works very well.

    However, recently I did a lot of work so that offline and saved these files in the server folder synchronized (while offline).  I came back and unfortunately the entire folder that I had been synchronization had been moved and windows thought all my new files should be deleted and erased all!   How to make a comeback?

    They are not in my trash.  My guess is that they are locked in a temporary file.

    Help, please!

    Hi Olen Ronning,

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!

    Let us check if you have the folder (offline) is located here.
    1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Sync Center icon.
    2. in the left pane, click Manage Offline files.
    3. on the general tab, click the view your offline files.
    4. you will now be in your offline files folder. Open the folder to the location you want to see these files available offline.
    5. for example, select the computers and a computer network available. You will now see the available offline folders and their files offline in them.

    Or

    If you work with offline files in different folders, you can see all the of them without having to open each file individually. Here's how to view all your files in one place offline:
    1. open offline files by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type and then offline files in the results list, click on manage offline files.
    2. on the general tab, click view your offline files.

    If you still can't find the brand of folder that you have enough disk space for offline files.
    And you can also view the folder on the server if it is updated with the latest files. because when you start windows updates the record with the most recent files.

    Manage disk space for offline files

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/working-with-network-files-when-you-are-offline
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/understanding-offline-files

    You will not delete files when you sync unless Sync Center tries to sync with a file that has been deleted. If you have set up a partnership of synchronization for synchronizing files in two different places (for example, between a computer and a mobile device), Sync Center will keep the same set of files in both places. If you add or update a file in one location, Sync Center also will add or update it in the other location. Similarly, if you delete a file in one location, Sync Center will delete it from the other location.

    Please let us know if this helps you resolve the problem or if assistance is needed.
    It will be useful.
