INSTALLATION of VISTA on VISTA I LOST WHAT IE the FILES PHOTO etc.

How can I recover all my old files, pictures, programs etc

You cannot retrieve programs; they must be reinstalled.

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.

    Have you had a glance at this startup repair disk?

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username
    

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

  • Lost access to the files on the hard drive.

    After you use the SYSTEM RESTORE, my office has lost access to all my files of data written and the pictures on the hard drive.

    I tried a backup disk or restart several months ago, but the drive will not read it!

    How can I restore access to "My Documents" and other folders?

    Hi Alan,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you have lost access to the files of data and images after doing a system restore.

    I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

    1. Why did you perform a system restore?

    2 do you have questions about the computer?

    3. If so, please specify the question to better help you?

    4. What are the data and images file format?

     

    System Restore will return all your files non-system as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system.

    Based on the current situation, I suggest you to Undo a restoration of the system after performing a system restore.

    Check out the link and check if that helps.

    If the problem persists, or you have any questions about the restoration of the system, do not hesitate to let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  • What is the file or registry in mozilla application that gets launch to create the APPData\Roaming\Mozilla

    I do not know what is the file that fires when you launch Mozilla Firefox for the first time to create the AppData folder is local or roaming because I want to change to a different name because I want to have 2 versions of mozilla on the same computer with the old version I want to customize to my company only web application.
    I have open all files with the extension *. JS, but none of them have the setting to create the folder I also look into each INI file in the application of mozilla firefox, but no info found more.
    I use the ORCA MSI Editor to reveal the registry keys, but I'm not sure because many of them leads to the Mozilla folder but either none for the Appdata roaming or Local.
    Please let me know if you have some tips or the files I need to edit to change this name to perhaps MOZ2015
    Thanks in advance for your answer

    I think I understand, however, the reference of the code might suggest it of where the magic happens (name records) it would make sense to find another work around?

    If we cannot find here, it is also possible to ask stackoverflow.com or ESR mailing list.

  • What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it?

    What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

    This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

  • [NMH300] Try to use Vista backup, but what is the name of user and password to drive Z?

    I use the pole NMH300 media and I want to create a backup process this file copies on drive Z (media Division) and Vista backup invites me for the username and password for the drive Z, which is funny because I never enter a username or password to access this disk , and the more I use a password only to access the media hub File Explorer but I've never had to enter a user name.  What Miss me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Joey

    The utility of backup Vista encrypts the data on the hard drive using the security feature of NTFS format and I think it will not be able to do that if you go back up to the mediahub since its already a different device with a different file for its Reader format. Vista Backup utility is intended only then to NTFS formatted disks so that it can encrypt/secure data being saved. Just use the NTI Shadow backup tool to backup your files, it's a good tool.

  • Windows Vista reinstall blocked to "expand the files (27%). »

    I have some problems with my PC main (on my laptop at this time) and decided after 3 years, time to reformat. From what I've heard supposed to be simple in vista, pop in the disc and click on reinstall windows. He grayed out button keep old files, but that was OK since I tried a clean install. then he went forward and said she'd keep everything in windows.old, fine, I'll just delete myself later.

    Anyway, I take reinstall, it goes through a reboot or two and gets to the Windows installation, extension files, I've been watching it for over an hour now and it has not exceeded (27%). Not sure what will happen if I force to restart now and try again. Please help and advise.

    Stats:
    Dell (I know, I know, never) Dimension 9300
    Intel Duo DUal Core 2.6 ghz
    NVIDIA 6800GTS
    4 GB of RAM
    350 GB HARD drive

    -Dan

    p.s. It's 32-bit Vista Home Premium, the same disc that came with the computer in the first place, original vista without SP the disk.

    UPDATE:

    OK, once sitting around an another hourish in waiting for a response from the installation has puched from 27 percent and is now at 70%, heres hoping it continues, so for those of you who else having this problem, go see a movie, go back and hope it's worked.

    If you have an Installation of Vista genuine disc (not an OEM disc and a recovery from Dell disk), then I can help you. If this isn't the case, you need to contact Dell, as is their recovery process and not from Microsoft and we have no information on its operation.

    Assuming you are using a real Dist Vista Installation, the installation obviously didn't at this point so you should cold shut down the system and reboot to restart the process.  Before that, I would clean the disc gently with a tissue from the Center to the edge to remove fingerprints or tasks that can cause the problem.

    When the option to format, choose full format rather than a quick format (just to make sure that it has nothing to do with the problem).

    Then try the re-installing and hope it works this time.  If it will not re - install from the disc, then try to find an another Vista Installation authentic drive of the same size of the bit to borrow and try.  If not, then press F12 immediately after pressing the Start button to access system diagnotics (at least this is how it works on my Dell - use whatever method works for your if you have installed the diagnostics program) and run all the options to see if it finds problems with your system (I hope not).

    If not, then contact Support technique Dell (if out of warranty a phone call can cost money, but I think that the chat option is free even after the warranty runs out and see if they have any suggetions to offer.)

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
