If you have hadanother installed operating system, you normally have 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.

How to recover files from an earlier version of Windows in Windows Vista

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If none of the above solves your problem, try data recovery companies.

Be warned: they are $$$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to get Vista recovery media:

There is no Vista free download legal available.

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

See you soon.

    Hello

    You're confused system recovery and system restore.

    System Restore makes the settings from your computer to an earlier date; It will not reinstall the operating system.

    System recovery reinstalls the operating system how much you bought your machine; as for the new State.

  • How to automatically restore the session after a crash/update / without asking me if I want to restore it?

    Hello, there are times that my Firefox crashes (well, it happens to all of us who use it to some extent) or updates asking to restart. I would like to know if there is an option that allows you to restore the previous session automatically without asking me even. It would be very useful for reasons. I had this kind of problem a couple of times ending me be upset. Sometimes I misclicked and lost all my important tabs. Other times my firefox has crashed/shifted on after reboot and guess what sound restart still has not even asking me if I wanted to restore my session crashed.

    Thank you in advance.

    Cesarius Hi, I think I understand, but I have not explained completely.

    The browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes preference is to avoid an infinite loop. The default value 1 means an attempt to restore the session automatically once and if it fails (for example, it crashes before it can finish to restore), then display the "embarrassing". You could try to increase the value of 2 or 3 and see if it works on the second or third time. If you still see the screen "This is awkward" after a crash, Firefox still does not make a failback.

    You can also check if there is a file user.js in your profile folder. A user.js file is a file of optional parameters that Firefox reads at startup and uses to override the settings saved in your previous session. Unless you create a user.js file yourself, you can usually just remove it. This article includes a section on the hunt for a possible user.js file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Note: by default, Windows hides the .js file extension. Precise work with file names, I suggest setting windows to show all file extensions. This article has the steps: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

  • I'm a window that has the windows displayed in yahoo mail and hadou and I can click on one of the images of a window and it will restore the window how?

    I am in yahoo mail and there is a window that has the windows displayed and I can click on one of the images of a window and it will restore the window how to access this window (size full one who possesses a collection of previous windows in a complete graph/no format)?
    The window that I write the topic is a collection of previous windows images in a smaller size.

    Firefox has a feature to view all your open tabs in one or more groups of tabs. You can show and hide this screen by pressing Ctrl + Shift + e. Is this the one you see, or something different?

    If you ended up with more than a group of tabs and you want to consolidate them, you can drag the thumbnail images all in one group.

    More information: use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs.

  • Want to upgrade from Windows 7 Windows 8.1

    I have a pc touchsmart 310 and bought Windows 8 Pro on the drive. I want to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, and then download the free update to 8.1. I learned by a representative of Microsoft if I do an upgrade and not a "clean install" I would still have windows 7 and if I decided to move to windows 7 I was able to do because I did an upgrade and not a clean install completely erases the entire system.

    What I need to know, is if I'm doing this update, I continue to have the touchsmart feature? The touchsmart feature that will allow me to access the webcam, recipe box, Center app, facebook, twitter, HP Movie Store, doodle, add notes and etc? I was told by Microsoft to ask if you have a download that will allow me to have the touchsmart feature in windows 8 Pro. I talked to a representative, but I don't think he completely understood what I was referring to.

    It is the position of HP on the support of Windows 8 and of any computer HP have not supplied with Windows 8.

    Not all the features of Windows 8 may be available on all PCs.

    Your specific experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.

    HP provides upgrade instructions and the drivers will be available for the majority of Windows 7 systems sold after October 1, 2011.

    If you want to restore the original operating system after the upgrade, you must create HP recovery before you put on level support.

    Please note that if you purchased your system before October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed the drivers for them or upgrade of Windows 8 instructions. The upgrade of these systems can be difficult, if not impossible.

  • My up asking me if I want to restore my Active Desktop and when I press Yes thinking it press I Yes. Any help will be appreciated and thank you

    Hello, I have Windows XP Professional on my computer at home and a week ago I noticed a new icon on the screen that says 'New Briefcase (2)' start. I'm not this letter from the computer where I can go and start trying to remove this or that and I would like to know what would happen if I chose to delete it? The other thing that has changed is the color of the background, it used to be the old blue startup screen and now it is white and a box asking if I want to restore my Active desktop. When I pressed yes thinking it would take me back to the old blue screen that nothing happens, so I end up going to the Panel and the opening of the office and when my old screen appears, I grow well and he is back to normal, until the next time that I start. What would cause that new icon to just pop as he did and why the white of the screen with this question? I did something that would cause these changes. Any help would be appreciated and I thank you for your time and your help.

    [Moved from comments]

    Hello

    The new Briefcase (2) is probably empty and may have accidentally created by a right-click on the desktop > New > Briefcase. You can safely remove. It is not necessary.

    For the question of Active Desktop, try this...

    Right-click on the desktop > properties > Display Properties > Desktop > customize > Web, uncheck whatever the page is listed or add a new Web page and uncheck the box, then OK your way out. That should disable Active Desktop.

    Then... Right-click on the desktop > properties > Display Properties > Desktop > select a color.

  • I cut a record and stuck to a usb device. I want to restore the folder on my computer

    I cut a record and stuck to a usb device. When I tried to open it, he couldn't. I want to restore the folder on my computer. I know there is a way to restore your computer in the last days, but can't remember how. Does anyone know how to do this? This is a very important video of my children.

    System Restore does NOT monitor and restore user data.  You cannot use the system restore to recover a folder deleted from videos created by the user.

    What is the error message you get when you try to open the file on the USB flash drive?  Please do not paraphrase.

    What version of Windows you have, including the service pack?  Do right click my computer and select Properties, if you are not sure.

    In the future, copy and paste files to and from USB devices rather cut and paste or 'move '.  Only delete the original after that you know that the copy is used.
