I need to recover files after a system recovery.

Hello.  I had to perform a recovery system on my Vista operating system.  I lost all the files and programs that I had already installed.  Is there a way I can get those back? I have ProDiscover installed on my computer.  Can I use it?  Thank you.

For any question about ProDiscover, contact their Support: http://www.techpathways.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=6&tabid=11

Programs should always be reinstalled after a restore to the factory settings.

If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

You can try this program:

http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

    It may be that your hard drive is damaged, I suggest to run chkdisk\r and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. To do this, you must boot into the recovery console, and then run the command.

    a. Boot into the recovery console. Check the steps that are mentioned in the link given below.

  • Problem of recovering files after completing the reduced image of the system

    I wanted a quick and easy way to remove bloatware on my HP Pavilion dv6 laptop and I recently found the option to minimize the system image.  During execution of the task, I was given the option to first back all my files and I thought it was excellent.  After waiting 2 hours for her to create the backup, he created a 67.5 GB file on my backup drive and then proceeds to reduce to a minimum the system image.  While he was complete my phone restarted and went through all the steps of setting up for first use.  When everything was done, I plugged my backup disk and navigated to the folder of recovery of file titled "Backup_2011-10-28 125331.  In the file was a file "Recovery.exe" so I guess that I just had to run the file and everything would be restored.  However, he did create a file on the C: drive in the "System Recovery Files" which basically looks like a simple list of files.  The file that was done was only 12 GB, which makes no sense given that the backup folder initial took 67.5 GB on my backup drive.

    I assumed that this recovery file would simply perform a system recovery, restore all files created by the user where they were originally and basically to restore my system to how it was before reducing the image of the system, except of course for the fact that the image of the system would be less.  I was wrong to assume that or am I not successfully restore my system?  When enter windows and attempt to restore the backup created by some HP program that did it, the file is not even given as a possible source of save.  How can I get my computer to where it was before the restoration?  I had more than 100 GB of music, games and programs out there that are now lost and trying to remember what I lost everything will be very tedious, not to mention how long to actually get all the files.  Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

    OK, what I learned hae is the backup created during the copy just for the recovery of all the files in the format of the image (management of stormwater in case you), the restore.exe was never to return to the original lcations since maybe it's different, so there just pictures of stormwater management to normal files and dumps then converts into a folder to restore you It is up to you to sort through them and put them in the appropriate places, stupid I agree, but that's the way it was designed.

    Back to your problem, I would like to rename this "System Recovery Files" System Recovery Files 2 folder, then try the recovery.exe once again, see if there is no option during recovery, make sure you select all files if given a chance, see if it produces more files than he did the first time.

    If this does not work there is a way to convert all the files management of stormwater to 1 wim file and then mount the wim file in explorer to copy the files you need from the image, it's very complicated process which I've never tried it myself.

    There is no option to recover files deleted by the disk cleanup utility. However we recommend to check the trash to see if all the files listed there. If so, then restore them.

    I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...

    -Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
    -It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
    -If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
    -In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
    -Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
    -Here are the most common options that I can think of:
    -SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
    -If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
    -If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...

    It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system!  If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!

  • Can I recover files after a permanent removal?

    QUESTION: I need to recover my Rhapsody music library that seems to be permanently deleted.

    PROBLEM: The user ignorance/stupidity. I tried to make room on my hard drive and I seemed to have 2 copies of Rhapsody. Oops.  I believe it should be possible to recover at least some of these music files (.mp3).

    The more you use your computer, more risk overwriting the deleted material and the lower the risk of recovery.

    Recuva is a good free application. You can also try free Data Recovery Wizard from Easeus.

    R-Studio and Get Data Back are not free, but I think you can download a free trial version which will allow you to see if he can recover your data.

    If none of these options can recover your data, you must decide how much your lost data is worth...  Drive savers data recovery costs $ 500 and upwards... top.

    2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean your own files only or all files on the computer. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Strange question, craps remaining after the system recovery on my windows xp desktop.

    Strange question, thank you for your comments!

    I just reinstalled windows xp on my old HP desktop HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7334n PC computer using the recovery on D partition. I expect that the installation would be a clean install. At the beginning of the recovery, I noticed the message on the screen saying that the backup was in process. After recovery, I could start my computer and realized that used disk space C was still as the space of C drive used before the restoration. I also noticed that there was a lot of pre-installed programs appears on the list of start - all programs. I never installed them after recovery. Many of them work. I expect a CLEAN installation. It is not clean at all.

    Furthur inspection on the system to reveal problems:

    1. I noticed that there are so many records under the program folder program files on the C drive (I have only one program fichiersDossier). I guess that the recovery process copied evething under my original forder of program files in this folder. I don't have anything I can use most of them because the links were scattered on a large number of them (I can't run the program of either start - all programs or folder directly). Is not at all a CLEAN installation.

    2. the recovery process also copy my document in the folder as well original user, see below to understand which is the original file of the user.

    3. originally, in my computer, I have two users (or 3 including comments), we came to HP-administrator with the computer, is another family.  On the computer I just recover, there are 3 users accompanying the recovery. They are administrator, hp-administrator and guest. I've renamed the family administrator. Now, under systems and settings, I see the user plus two records. They are administrator-YOUR-4DACD0EA75 and hp-administrator-YOUR-4DACD0EA75. YOUR 4DACD0EA75 sounds familiar. I can remember that I was lazy and that it has not changed the computer name during installation after recovery. YOUR 4DACD0EA75 is actually the default name given to me during the installation. I don't like this at all, so I changed the name of the computer and restarted the computer. The name of the computer was changed after the restartup, but ugly folder names remain the same and I can not even rename the ugly file name.

    I had done some restorations system on this computer before, I never noticed a problem like this before.

    1 have we seen this before?

    2 I forgot something?

    3. can I safely delete the original user profiles and records under the program folder program files?

    4. can I do a system recovery really CLEAN? I understand that the crapware will be installed during the system recovery. I'm ok with that, what I want is my pc to be recovered to the original state of the plant.

    5. I can read is no longer my 1st disc restore dvd. Is it possible to make another set of recovery disks?

    Thanks for reading my long message!

    1 have we seen this before? I saw something similar and other relief to be fixed.

    2 I forgot something? I don't think so. Just do an another hard drive recovery. Try again is all I can think about.

    3. can I safely delete the original user profiles and records under the program folder program files? I would'nt mess with her. Just do another hard drive recovery system.

    4. can I do a system recovery really CLEAN? I understand that the crapware will be installed during the system recovery. I'm ok with that, what I want is my pc to be recovered to the original state of the plant. Yes. Used hydrogen peroxide call destructive (or full) non-destructive vs. Make a full - restoration destructive to put things o back the way you bought it.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07145

    5. I can read is no longer my 1st disc restore dvd. Is it possible to make another set of recovery disks? By all means, out juice of repair disk and try to get it back. If you can repair the disk, make a copy or 2 whole and store them in a safe place. Otherwise, you will have to order them from somewhere on the Web... as a popular auction site.

    Thanks for reading my long message! You are welcome. Thanks for posting. I hope my answer helps.

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  A full system recovery crushes a large number of files.  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace more data you want to retrieve.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC and as a result of the recovery.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    Frankly, I don't think that you will be able to recover a lot given the circumstances, but it's worth a try (and almost the only option you have in more expensive professional who may do better).

    Good luck and I hope this helps!
