Question of file recovery

I backed up all my files a long time ago. This is the total of 3 disks. I lost the disc 3. I had to reformat my hard drive and after you have reinstalled windows ect went to restore my files. I only have 2 of the 3 disks, disk 1 and 2. Keep promting put me in the disc 3 which I did not. Hit cancel them, is the only option that will not end the process. Is it possible to complete this process with just the 2 discs I have, or is it a lost cause. Just hope I can recover the files on the first 2 discs. This is where all the important things are anyway.

Ah... Not sure about all records of personal files.

It depends on the type of file - if the disc is in the .wim format then you might be able to access the data using a method extracted using 7 - Zip.

Assuming that Windows 7:

What follows isn't written for your backup files - it is written for a Windows 7 installation CD.  If the format of your backup is of the same type, i.e. If the type of file backup is a .wim file, then this method may work.

You must extrapolate the details necessary for your situation.

Windows 7: extract files from Installation of Windows 7 DVD

The downside is that you are working with "chunks" of a whole; your set of files on the disc is broken and there is no guarantee - even as the file type is correct that you can extract files from a partial set.

    Hello

    > First of all, is it safe?

    recovery process is completely safe.

    > Second, he will restore C: and D:, or just C:?

    He will restore the os with the settings on drive C;. Local d it will create image file from hard drive which I know.

    > Can I run 32-bit incompatible somehow on my 64-bit?

    It depends on the application. I mean, do a right-click on the application and choose properties where you can Compatible mode.

    > Finally, it clears so Ubuntu?

    If it is installed on local d: I guess that will erase. To be honest, is not sure

  • Question about the recovery partition

    Hello.

    I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

    If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

    I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

    In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

    In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.

  • Re: Several questions about the recovery of the Satellite L750 features

    I have several questions about the recovery of Satellite L750 features available to it. Any help and answers would be useful.

    (1) when I started the laptop first, he asked me to create a recovery CD incase I need to reinstall the operating system. But he also said that he built in the recovery partition, so therefore, I have to make a recovery cd or not?

    (2) will be the recovery CD is exactly the same as the recovery on the system partition?

    (3) is the partion of CD or recovery includes all the integrated software pre-installed with the laptop?

    (4) also in the device manage management it shows watch partion recovery but it is empty, is it true?

    (5) in the second partition (drive D) system, he has a record with what looks like the recovery of files and folders. Is it safe to move/remove it?

    Hello

    I'll try to provide answers:
    1 - to ensure that everything works perfectly you don t need these discs, but if something goes wrong with the HARD drive you will not be able to do anything. When you have the recovery DVDs, you will still be able to install the recovery image and once again the factory settings. So my advice to you is: create these discs as soon as possible. Use only on DVD-R media and buy products of high quality (TDK or Verbatim).
    2 - Yes.
    3 - Yes.
    4 - No. Don t be confused with this.
    5. in a first time create restore DVD, and later you can do what you want. I put t know which files mean you but don t touch anything before that of the recovery disks to be created.

    In the past, many people have been experimenting with the structure of HARD drive and partitions and later was surprised when installing disk recovery HARD has been damaged. Don t make the same mistake.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Question on CD recovery for Satellite M70-164

    I want to format my PC, but I'm with some (stupid) questions...

    The CD that came with the laptop (speaking of labels, Toshiba and Microsoft) has in the main cover, something like this: "recovery disc".

    But there is no reference to Microsoft Windows (like the ones you buy for desktop computers)...

    Easy: it's the CD that I can format my PC? Windows XP is included in it?

    Thanks for your valuable help! :-)

    Kind regards

    Hello Daniel

    There are no stupid questions but sometimes stupid answers (maybe mine too). ;)

    I hope that this one will be good and useful for you. Each new laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system. When you pay the notebook also purchased operating system. A single copy and license belongs to you. Toshiba create a disc of recovery for clients, and this recovery disk contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba designed tools and utilities and also some applications like WinDVD or Norton antivir software. All this software allows you full use on the first day.

    Facilities process is quite complicated, especially for people without much experience. Because of this, Toshiba usual to make the OS simply possible facilities. In just 20 minutes (after the recovery procedure) OS and all hardware components will be configured correctly.

    Be careful with the recovery media delivered. Protect it from damage and treasure. Who knows how many times you must use it in the future.

    If you have any other questions about the recovery procedure, please write again. Here you will find useful tips how to use and optimize HARD disk space at the same time.

    Hello

    Saved on the HARD drive recovery image can be used if the laptop has only factory settings. After installing Win8 you have changed everything and factory settings have been deleted. If use of F8 are unable to work.

    This 400MB you see have nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image. This small partition is owned by the operating system.

    One thing confuses me in the history. It is the use of recovery disks.
    You have created recovery discs using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator?

  • Pavilion g6: I deleted files recovery on D drive

    I have a HP Pavilion with Windows installed 8.1 g6. I accidentally deleted my files recovery on D drive. How can I restore them. I have Windows 8 recovery disks.

    It is unlikely. You can try the Recycle Bin of Windows, but it is unclear if it will work.

    I could try removing just to see if it works on my HP spectrum 13 XT ultrabook product loan.

    Edit:

    Ok. I tried today. I have found that if you want to delete the file, it would require administrator privileges. A specific and very important file is too large for the tank and asked me if I was sure I want to delete it again.

    Recovery of files that are located in the partition cannot be retrieved from the trash.

    You need to perform a factory image recovery if you want to have a labour recovery partition.

  • I have the virus of file recovery, now I have a black screen with cursor blinking in the upper left corner.

    I have a Pavilion Notebook and recently caught the virus from file recovery.  I bought and ran the disc of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security.  Now, I get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.  All tests ran for memory, hard disk, etc. are OK.  Now I have a recovery disk, but have not backed up my files.  Any suggestions?

    Download your backed up files, then you can boot from your recovery disks to reinstall Windows.Several options to do so.

    Remove the hard drive and attach it to one > USB adapter . Plug it into another computer via usb port and copy files off the power.

    You can use > Ubuntu Live CD to boot from and backup files.

    OR ->Kaspersky CD has the ability to back up files.

  • File recovery does not file recovered from the original folder

    I tried two programs of file recovery: Recuva and Pandora Recovery

    Two programs from many files deleted my involuntary removal of the My Documents folder.  However, I expect that the recovered files will be recovered in their original folders that were in My Documents folder deleted.  Instead, the files have been recovered as separate and unrecovered files in their original folders. Is there a recovery program that would recover the files into their original folders that were in the deleted Documents folder?  Otherwise, it seems I have to open about 7000 files and sort them in their folders respective orginal. This seems to be an extremely time consuming and difficult task. Can someone help me? Thank you.  John G.

    I think you'll be lucky to get anything.  Where a file is no not part of the file - it's the metadata stored elsewhere, so it is not possible to recover the files to their previous location.  In the future, it would be much easier to restore files if you have a backup.
