Lost in My Documents after the failure of the system files

I have a (~ 6 years old), Dell Precision Workstation 360 serice XP Pro pack 3. This morning when I got up the screens show vertical bands of color. Given zero has nothing - not even the selection screen or function key boot options to enter the bios Setup. In brief - not even a partial boot - just (double) monitors show the vertical lines of color. Encryption on the motherboard could have found death I took the C: drive and plugged into one another computer (XP) via one box drive external usb. In windows Explorer I can see just about everything that I expect to see on the drive except in the My Documents folder. I don't know what should be there, but the only in My Documents is the music of my pictures of my user name and user name. The only items in these folders are the XP sample music files and images. I did a search on the entire disk for a couple of files that I know should be in My Documents, but nothing was found. Since then, I ran a virus scan using Norton Internet Security, but he found no virus. I've got some critical files on this disc I need today. Stupid me - had not saved them in a few weeks, so a lot of work is missing.

Any assistance to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that there are file system corruption, after the failure of your hardware. Try some recovery software data (links below) or, if data is critical and expense is not a problem, don't take any chances and send the drive to a professional drive savers data recovery company.

  • After the system restore, clock is located one hour before because of DST

    Because of a logon error, I had to perform a system restore.  After the system restore has completed, I noticed that my clock is set ahead one hour (DST).  I think that TimeZones eventually applied twice to the clock.  I can put back an hour, but I rather it would be correct.  I tried to re - download the patch for the DST, but that did not help.

  • After the system is booted, the logon process takes 20-30 minutes.

    Microsoft Windows Vista Business SP2 [Version 6.0.6002] / ThinkPad x 301 2776 - A23
    The problem was discovered in November-December 2013.
    After the system is booted, the logon process takes 20-30 minutes (the mouse cursor on the black screen).
    I faced the same behavior in "windows boot" mode when Kaspersky Anti-virus is also uninstalled.
    After 30 minutes, as soon as it was possible to run msconfig, I checked and made sure only microsoft services are running.

    Dear Carlos, thank you very much for the help! The problem was solved by executing the steps suggested in this discussion. Please close this message.

    Hi AnjanaKumar,

    There are a few things to possibly resolve this problem.

    1. you'll want to make sure you update your video drivers directly from the video card manufacturer's Web site.

    2. it could be the power plan that you configured is not compatible with your configuration:

  • JAD params of the reading of the JAD file that is changed after the cod file is built?

    Hello

    We have a requirement in which, you must change the jad file, after the cod file is generated.

    But when I try to do is not able to read the newly added params to MIDlet.getAppProperty() . He can read the jad attributes that were there in the jad file before creating the cod file.

    Example:

    existing JAD has "KeyA" whose value is "A." Now package for the project and generate the blah.cod file

    Add a parameter more "KeyNew" with the value "ValueNew.

    Print the source MIDlet.getAppProperty("KeyA") andMIDlet.getAppProperty("KeyNew")

    Step 1. Existing.jad

    KeyA: A.

    Step 2. Build the cod

    Step 3. Add another parameter to Existing.jad

    KeyA: A.

    KeyNew: ValueNew

    Step 4. Existing.jad of charge using javaloader.

    load Javaloader u Existing.jad

    Step 5. Run the application

    Help, please.

    Apparently it only works if we install the Jad with Javaloader file. Having an installation OTA of the Jad file works.

    Unfortunately, this model laptop has a Broadcom bluetooth device or a device of Atheros.

    Try to install the Atheros driver first because it is more common.  If it isn't an Atheros card, Setup HP rejects the update indicating no match of material.

    If this isn't Atheros, install the Broadcom bluetooth driver.

  • Display next button after the SWF file embedded is over

    I have a SWF file (AS3) I'm embedding in Captivate 7.

    I have the commands in the file SWF Captivate a pause until the SWF is done playing, then he will resume the Captivate slide at the end of the embedded SWF file.

    I would like to be able to trigger the 'Next' button on the blade so that it appears when the SWF file is finished.  I've included a variable 'videoDone' on the blade and the SWF successfully assigns to the variable '1' when it is complete.

    So far so good, where I'm having a problem is makes the following button.

    Is it possible for me to tell Captivate to show the button next to the SWF embedded? Or is there a way I can add a listener for the Captivate slide as well as when the variable "videoDone = 1" it will show the next button?

    I managed to solve the problem by having 2 following buttons

    #1 on show/hide slide entry based on the 'videoDone' user variable
    #2 placed lower in the timeline panel and looks after the SWF file finishes.

  • Models of DW: 'this document uses the following files not in this site.

    I recently started using DW templates in CS6. It was a bit frustrating at first, but seems well wouth it. I've created quite a few pages in the folder root of hares and have no problems there. However, I created a new folder to a different section of my site (mysite.com/new_folder/new_page.htm), and then went to save a new page of the model and got the message "this document uses the following files not in this site. Its the same site, just a new folder which is placed at the root.  When I save the page in the new folder there to make a copy of duplicant images, css scripts and place them in the new folder to work? Must be a way to do it and have DW know where to find the original files surely?
