Lost all my data files

I am running XP Professional, received this morning the message that a disk may be damaged and running chkdisc. What I did and windows opens ok, but although I can see all the program files are ok and I can get online I lost all my data. Documents, photos and so on. I have supported more until quite recently but if I could get back to the status of yesterdays that would be great. Ideas people.

Thank you

  • Hi, I deleted my acrobat application on my mobile by mistake and therefore lost all of my files... Is there a way to retrieve pdf files... I didn't save any to my laptop?

    Hi, I deleted my acrobat application on my mobile by mistake and therefore lost all of my files... Is there a way to retrieve pdf files... I didn't save any to my laptop? Re

    Hijosephinek95123236,

    PDF files are not saved in the application. They must be in the local memory of the mobile device or if they are stored on the cloud of document, then they will be available under the cloud of document tab.

    Please reinstall the Acrobat Reader application on your mobile device to access the document.

    To transfer the PDF files from mobile device on laptop: -.

    If the files are saved on the cloud of document, then you can access the file on your laptop using this link https://cloud.acrobat.com/folder/7efb457b-c1b5-4d6b-89d1-96b1ede2a167 , the files can be downloaded from here.

    Otherwise, if the files are on the local memory of the mobile device, then you can send the file or transfer them using a data cable.

    Kind regards

  • I reinstalled my OS and I lost all my data FF, but I remember there is somehow to get it back with a 16-digit PIN code?

    I reinstalled my OS (Win 7 Ultimate) and lost all my data of Firefox. I have Xmarks, so I got all my bookmarks back, but I also had another when Xmarks said they would fold (which I don't remember the name of).

    Last time when I reinstalled my OS (years ago), there was a place where I could enter a PIN code to 16 digits and all my passwords, modules, etc., would stay again.... or at least that's how I remember it.

    What Miss me to recover passwords? And all my add-ons/extensions?

    I understand how my PIN. He goes to Xmarks, the menu options for my passwords. Guess I'll have to get all my Add-ons again (which is probably a good idea because there are many that I have not used and just things idle).

    Thanks for your help though!

  • I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

    I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

    Lillie

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

  • BlackBerry Z3, I lost all my data on my SD storage card, please help me to retrieve the data.

    Dear Sir.

    I lost all my data on my SD storage card, please help me to retrieve the data. I have a Z3, just bought only a week before, I removed the card with the phone off and then give the card again and noticed that I lost all the data. Please help

    Try restarting your phone. Sometimes it shows data that brought them "disappeared". To do this, hold down your power button for about 15 seconds, until you see BlackBerry on your screen. Do not release the button until you see that without taking account of any other thing you see before that.

    Try this and post back with your results.

  • I lost all my data after clicking F11

    Hello world!

    I lost all my data when I clicked on F11 and resumption of the factory was run.

    Is it possible to return the data? They are very important.

    They were all my, very important data, including all the data of the University - for more than 4 years.

    Please help me. I need emergency assistance. The operating system is Windows Vista Business Edition - she is allowed.

    Best regards

    Manual

    Hi, manual,.

    Unfortunately I have some bad news for you.

    F11 called the Recovery Manager, where you have several options. The following two options are in the section I need help immediately .

    Microsoft System Restore is a non-destructive process. If you make a mistake, you can restore your system to a restore point at a date that works for you.

    System recovery is, however, a destructive process that removes all the data. Until the process begins it warn you.

    You may be able to recover your data by contracting a data recovery company. It will be quite expensive and no guarantee of success.

    Do you not have your University data backed up on an external drive?

    If you press the recovery option, you put it to the factory settings; in other words, how you bought, new condition.

    You can't undo that or that restore to how it was.

  • Help! Lost all the data and contacts while Hotsync-ing

    OK - I'm a fool.  I have a Treo 650 and have had problems of synchronization - lying there.  Today, I had the brilliant idea to delete all my contacts and calendar on my computer and starting over.  I put the phone hotsync and after a few minutes received an error message saying that the sync-ing process was interrupted.  Then I discovered that all the data of contacts and the calendar on my palm has been eliminated.  I thought that I had made a backup, but, just, did a search on my computer (XP Home) and couldn't find any file with .aba.

    Help Help Help

    Paul

    I had hotsynced.  There seems not to be problems with the settings on the computer, but the hard reset was eliminated my cable/dock setting.  I've recreated in this regard, hit hotsync on the 650, and he ran through the whole process.  Data on 650 and PC.  Now, to re - create my calendar

    Thank you very much!

  • Bridge CS4 - lost all associations of files - on 2 computers

    I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and laptop, Windows XP Pro.

    I've lost all my associations with bridge CS4 file.  If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up.  It allows to work before no problem.  If I reset, it does nothing.  What is happening on both of my machines.

    I manually chose PS CS4 but sometimes MS Paint happens again and if I click on the restore default settings, nothing happens.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem?
