  Hi GeneVachon,

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  You can try a system restore to a previous point where you have not experienced the problem.

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

• All my files are gone after doing a system restore

  Tuesday, I spotted that I was behind on my updates so be fairly busy told windows draft.exe all and he then installed.
  When I came back to my computer (after the restart). I found that windows had created a new user, Temp. On this temp Itunes was not installed and none were anything else.
  I got itunes to add the library again and I continued a bit annoyed with Vista
  Then I noticed that my hard drive was packed even if I had loads of free space. So I decided to do a system restore.
  He got rid of the Temp and in the process most of my files.
  After much research, I decided to cancel the restoration of the system think that logically it that would result is error.
  Bad...
  Cancellation of the restoration of the system made the rest of my files disappear.

  I'm no expert, but I do not think that my files were gone I believe that something has happened in the root directory (hope only maybe blind).
  When I search for my vista documents found, but if clicked told me that the item that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut no longer works correctly.

  If anyone can help?

• The files are gone and now get error 0 x 8007005 on restore

  At some point between Saturday morning and Sunday night, all the files on my internal HD (non - C drive) disappeared. The drive still saves and reads the files, but I don't know why the files are missing. I pretty much wasn't home all weekend so I remember any specific mistakes.

  I have 1 catering point from the previous Wednesday. But when I try to restore I get:

  "System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer temporarily disable your antivirus and restart System Restore. An unspecified error occurred during the restoration of the system (0 x 8007005). »

  Things I've done during the last hours of the couple. All 3 steps and be followed with an attempt to system recovery:

  (1) run (found nothing) virus check
  (2) run check rootkit (found nothing)
  (3) off my only known anti-virus (AVG)
  (4) uninstalled AVG
  (5) restart in 'Safe Mode '.
  (6) tried a "clean boot".
  (7) rebooted in safe mode

  Whenever I try to restore it, the computer spends 10 minutes on the stage "initialization of reboot", then abandon, going to rebuild the registry and restart. As the computer is not to leave.

  I would appreciate any input on either a solution for restoring failed or a way to recover the files randomly disappearing. (I already checked my trash, not there).

  Thank you.

  @shrekasaurous - if the items are removed from the creative Cloud Files folder on your computer, they go into the Archives of https://assets.adobe.com/files?filter=archive. You can restore the items from the Archive, and they will be synchronized to the creative Cloud Files folder.

• My computor would not start windows, so I got the opption to boot with the disc. But with the TI istalled a new windows 7 on my computor and all my files are gone. How can I get the file.

  second copy of windows 7 has been installed. How can I retrieve my files from the old copy of windows 7

  That depends on the options you chose when you made the installation.  If you chose to keep your old files, you can view the folder c:\windows.old .  If you opted to install on another partition, you can retrieve the files from the old partition.  Otherwise, you would have to have supported your computer before reinstalling.

  When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

  http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

  Good luck.

• After update on Windpws 8.1, applications and desktop windows files are gone

  After using windows 8 for some time and just become familiar with my lap top has started promoting update me windows 8.1 I did. He got to halfway through the update failed.  A pop up message that my computer will reboot when it has finally done I had to create a new user as egone account all the tverything that was on my computer is now disappeared from windows desktop is Islands and apps are word disappeared from windows of the program excel outlook ECt are all deleted.  I first tried to contact microsoft last night 9/12 14 after a long time on hold I got to a telephone switchboard finally after an hour to be spent on I got to a person called Sheena p who accessed my computer remotely to fix the problem after that several attempts to try to untangle the issues it has had problems as it were quite well refused to listen to what I explained.

  He decides so after hour or more that this too is a problem for him and I need help of level 2 and it would organize a call back for today 10/12/14.  Soon after the end of the call, I received another call from microsoft, explaining that the Office of the United Kingdom farm at 7 and I would like to be contacted at 18:00.  After leaving work earlier to be home to this call and in the meantime and until it became obvious that no one was going to get in touch.

  So I contacted once again microsoft got passed from one person to another, so that all operators attempted to pass the problem on to another Department, eventually after about 45 minutes, it is call that I am someone in the phillapines that even once, pretty much couldn't or wouldn't understand the problem told me it could not be anything else other than a virus no matter how much times I explained the problem that she seemed unable to depart from it on the screen guests as she just constantly repeated the same vein times she said microsoft is paying and that she would not do anything until I paid $ 99, I think that it is and violates since I had already spent enough money buy microsoft software that has now been removed and a microsoft program.  Then she just transferred back me to the very first options menu so I wasn't on hold or in any that just left to start all over again. I finished the call to seek an alternative.

  can someone sign affect me? I have a laptop restored to factory settings, no files, folders, pictures or software because I have updated windows 8 from their guest.

  Thanks in advance

  Mark

  It would be impossible for the .old and the user folder to disappear, unless someone went to PC settings and clicked on the "Reset PC" option.  Other than that, the only way for those missing is to be booted from a CD or USB and do a new installation instead of the update to the App Store.

  Regardless of how, however, at this stage there is no much I can suggest.  Install your favourite again and get your files from OneDrive or backup everything you use.

• How to play my music in the cloud if the physical files are gone

  I downloaded my music to the cloud by game, then moved the files to an external hard drive that no longer works (very well, no?). I thought that songs would still play the cloud even if I had deleted the files from my mac. But when a song comes up, I get an error message that the file is not found. Fortunately, if I hit 'Cancel' instead of 'locate' (two options), it recognizes the song is in the cloud and the cheek. I can do that for my entire library rather than having to do a song at a time? Additional info: next removed songs, no cloud icon shows until I get the error message and then click Cancel, as explained above. Subsequently, the cloud icon appears, the song is playing and is subsequently available to play.

  I think it should download them one album at a time.  I think remember me what happens to me. Album search, and then click Download to iCloud next to the title of the album.  It doesn't take too long.

• Cloning hard drive SSD - STARTUP FILES ARE GONE

  So I recently bought an SSD to put in my computer with my current hard drive.  I used this tutorial: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows to clone my hard drive of my ssd.  I was planning on just moving to the ssd (including my os) and then using my drive hard just store files on.  When I followed these steps, he created a "system reserved" disk (D :) on my computer.  I went into the bios and choose my SSD to boot from, but he said that he could not.  Thanks to some research I discovered that the system reserved player will often take startup files.  I was wondering if there is any way I could move the boot system files reserved my ssd drive.  I formatted my original hard drive yet so I think that the boot files should always be out there as well (?).  I have either a windows installation disc.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A few hours later, all the files have disappeared. Anyone know what happened?
