No file in the old Vista. Windows folder on reintall

Due to a bug of Rootkit that prevents the Startup Repair on my HP p/c with Vista pre-loaded Visa family premium, I bought a new Vista Home Premium disk and installed. Everything went well and he created an old. Windows folder, but there is nothing in it. Where are My Documents gone, and I can get back them

If there is nothing in the Windows.old folder, we cannot really do anything.

  • Reset on FF ver 26 remove all client connections FTP FF, the recovery of the old FF data folder?

    My FF browser was weird, so I did a Reset. My whole FF Ftp program has been removed. I installed the addon FF Ftp after the reset. I need to know how to return the file fireFTPsites.dat from the folder "Old data Firefox" browser worm FF 26. I have the latest version of FF on my windows xp desktop.

    Unfortunately, I don't have a master list of my client user ftp & pws.

    I am a novice. I read everything that in the Support section and really need help on how to get ftp info in the folder of old data from FF and get this info usable FTP again. Thank you.

    I think you should copy these 3 files from your old profile folder to the current.

    • fireFTPsites.dat
    • signons3.txt
    • signons.SQLite

    The second and third files are your saved passwords. Note that replace your current signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files will replace any password that you have registered in your profile.

    To open your active profile folder, you can use either:

    • Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    Then in the first table, click on the view file"" button. Keep this folder open, switch to Firefox and the output.

    Copy the 3 files from the old profile on your desktop folder in your new folder. Make sure that you do not copy the other way, for obvious reasons!

    Then restart Firefox. Success?

  • To access the files from the old drive to primary

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me with a question to get my
    files on a hard drive that was in my old computer.  I recently bought a Dell XPS 8500 with
    Windows 8 and using an external drive for the old disk source system hard, I
    tried to access my files, but access has been denied.

    Is it possible to get these files on the old hard drive?

    Can I start my XPS new 8500 of the former hard computer
    Windows XP drive and deletes the files in this way to an external hard
    by car?

    Any information would be greatly apprciated.

    Take control of a file has been a learning experience since very little talked about this with Windows 8 forums.  So what better way to learn than try it on my own and surprise surprise it worked and was much simpler than what everything I read without having to download any third-party programs.

    My files are on an old main drive I removed from my old computer that died.  Using a hard drive Docking enclosure Aluratek I could see my files he laugh at me because I could not access it.  That is until I click with the right button in the file and I changed a few things.

    That's what I did and maybe it will work for others as well.

    Right-click on the file you want to take charge.  Click Properties in the lower part.  On the screen that opens, click on Security at the top and then Advanced down when the open security setting.

    You should now have some Advanced security settings staring you.  This topic you should see the name and then owner listed under it.  Click owner.

    You must Select a user or a group in front of you.  Look down and click Advanced.  Another window will open and on this window to your right next to the box of common queries , you should see a button that says find now, click on it.  A list should appear in the search results.  In this list, I found my name that I use to connect to Windows 8 with.  I double clicked on that and it is up to Select a user or group.  Click OK.  Advanced security settings , be sure to check 'Replace all entries authorization child with entries from this object object' if there are other files in the folder that you want to open.  After having done and again in the Properties box, click OK .  Return to the folder or file and you should be able to open it now.

    I did all this mode without failure and find that Windows 8 is the fun part.  If you have Windows 8 and you want to start safe mode, press F8 will not Mode without failure.  Win + R and type msconfig.  This will open the System Configuration box.  Click Start , and then check in the boot options, starting with a minimum check also.  Press on apply and then OK.  After doing all that in Safe Mode, to get by doing the same thing again.  Win + R at the same time, msconfig and then start and uncheck the startup and restart the computer.

    Hope this helps anyone who ran in the same frustrations that I did.

  • How re - enable the display of the history of uploading files in the Download Manager window?

    System: Windows XP

    I am trying to reactivate the display, or to remember the list of downloaded files in the Download Manager window. I want to be able to drag and drop directly from this window into a folder of my choice. (I used to be able to do this, but apparently I missed that...)

    I tried the suggestions that could easily be found, including Firefox to remember the whole story in the privacy of the upgrade Options tab in.

    I have also deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file to 'reset' the values default to the browser, but in vain.

    Any ideas/help?

    Thank you.

    Well, it's fixed.

    The problem seems to be a plugin obsolete, probably the previous version of the Adobe Reader software.

    Tools > Add-ons, Plug-ins page.

    All is well now.

    Thanks to all who helped.

    I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

    The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

  • Office Pavilion - 400-540hk: unable to retrieve files from the old desktop USB HARD drive

    My old desktop (model: CQ4128HK) can be power on. So I bought a new desktop computer (model: Pavilion Office 400 540HK). I have a lot of important files in my old office, so I bought a SATA-USB enclosure and connect my old hard drive to the new office. However, after connecting the old HARD drive, I can't find my files or windows folders; Instead, I see that a single drive with folders named "Backup-xXXx" or "WindowImageBackup".  Please suggest how to recover my files on the old HARD drive. They are very important. Thank you.

    Hello

    Please try this first: bring the box (old HDD) and connect it to a machine not HP to see how it goes. I remember I have one similar problem in another day; reason: the old HDD still has a "signature" as a boot device.

    Kind regards.

  • My computer crashed, but I managed to save my files. How can I transfer my bookmarks from the old Firefox browser and install it on the new computer? I can't find the bookmark file in the old browser.

    I'm transferring my files to an HP laptop to a Dell because the crushed HP desktop computer. I installed Firefox 8 in the Dell computer (I got the Firefox 5 - I believe - in the HP). I'm looking for the old bookmarks file in the old computer, but I can't find them. Where are they? I'll appreciate your help because I had a very good collection of bookmarks. Unfortunately I didn't save them from time to time.

    Well, you were able to recover your files. I don't know where you have saved your files, but you can use the search function and search your favorites using this search term "bookmark *.» *«. It should be very probably a JSON extension file.

    Once you find the file, use this link to help restore backups.

  • transfer files from the old drive hard windows 7 to new computer windows 8

    My old laptop windows 7 crashed for an unknown reason, so I bought a new laptop with windows 8. I removed the hard drive from the windows 7 machine and using an external enclosure card connected to the new laptop.

    I can see and open any public folders in the folder of the user data, but can not access a user folder. Also when I right click on the folder of the user, it seems that they are empty.

    I have tried making the appropriation and unchecking hidden files but still no luck.

    Pretty frustrated right now.

    I think I solved the problem.

    I had to do a right-click on the folder user and copy and paste in a new folder. While he was doing that he clean up some data. Don't know exactly what was going since I wasn't there when it happened.

    Once he went through this process, I could see my user files to the new folder and the old hard drive.

    Sorry I can't explain it better.
