Hello

These 2 files are normal for any installation of Windows.

$recycle.bin contains data relating to the trash and the System Volume information contains the Restore Points to restore the system on each disk.

Normally, these folders are hidden by default.

In file Explorer, click the view tab in the Ribbon toolbar.

In the Options Menu, select folder and search options.

In the Folder Options window, select the view tab.

Select the option do not show hidden files, folders, and drives.

Click apply/OK.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista: Rebuild the system volume information folder

    Greetings to everyone.

    (1) the Crypto ransomware locker has done the thing is on a friends laptop last week. This is a laptop HP DV900 Microsoft Windows Vista. Unfortunately, we have re-installed Vista, from the recovery partition, before attempting to restore the system, using the system restore. It is my understanding that the system volume information folder, contains files, such as excel and word files, which can be restored, but they are stored by Vista, in a special encrypted way.

    If I could get it back or if I got the complete information system volume, would be possible to replace the current and to restore the system to a time before the ransomware hit?

    (2) in fact, I've used a file recovery program and was able to recover a huge file with the name:

    {11d89a13-09a9-11e4-9917-cb6a370b41f2} {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

    This file is approximately 1.99 GB, and is dated on 17/07/2014. I suspect that the virus deployed on 18/07/2014 as the most important Excel and word files have the date of last modification of 18/07/2014. And those files that have changed on the 18/07/2014 cannot be open - unless I have change the extensions of excel to .csv file, in which case excel files open, but the info is still obviously encrypted.  OK, so I have the part of the system volume information folder content, which seem to be of the part that contains the files there, as this is a fairly large file.

    My question is this: is a reconstruction of the folder system volume information, based on this possible of the file? In other words, using this file I have cancelled/recovered, can we restore Vista from this file?

    Thank you for your time.

    You cannot use the system restore to recover files from the user.  Restore points would be zero because of the new facility.  Update of installation dates would be irrelevant as well as software installations.  The new installation files will take precedence.

    Hi John,.

    Yes, you can delete the system volume information data if not to use the system restore.

    You will need to give permission to the folder until you delete it.

  • the System volume information folder size is 834 gb in my 1 TB external hard drive

    pls help me out here

    Wait for the BitLocker encryption to finish. It does get rid of data left behind from deleted files. The 6 GB is left to allow you to continue working while encryption is performed.

  • Where the Vista restore points. They seem to not be in my System Volume information folder.

    I would like to manually restore five registry hives as I used to be able to do under XP. Any help is very appreciated.

    Since Vista, Windows uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service to create restore Points instead of copying files, so I doubt that the procedure you describe will still work.

    In my view, it is possible to access the shadow copies of Volume using the following procedure:

    The list of all the shadow copies on the system vssadmin list shadows command

    Use command mklink to create a symbolic link to the cliché. The command will look something like this

    MKLINK /j c:\old \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy2\

    Optionally, assign a drive letter to the directory with the subst command, for example:

    subst g: c\old

    You can access the old content using the c:\old path or the path g:\

    If you can easily access the registry hives like this is something that I cannot comment.

    You can also check if the content of C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack is any use to you.

    rhl_yadav,

    It is IMPORTANT that you do not delete these files. They are very important to the operating system.

    Instead, you can hide:

    • Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
    • Click the view tab.
    • Under Advanced settings, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" and "Hide protected operating system files ' are not checked, and then click OK.

  • Formatting the USB in Windows XP disk, create a folder "system volume information" How can I overcome this problem

    Hello team, I tried to format my 2 GB to Format NTFS USB in WINDOWS XP.

I tried to remove my USB drive safley but it show and error as "the generic Volume is used in another program... '. ».  Why this happens, the 'System Volume Information' folder is a virus? How can I fix this problem... reply me as soon as possible... Thank you all...

    Hello

    It does seem like a virus. Since you're a NTFS format, it should be a system folder. System folder is present on NTFS volumes and is used for system restore points.

    If you want to remove, you may need to format the drive to FAT32.
