• File missing after system restore

  Dear Sir.
  Today, on a tecra M2, I did a system restore, but suddenly, the message came that I had to re - install the following file: \system32\ntoskrnl.exe :

  How can I do this: put in the recovery cd or just make a formatting the drive with the restore cd?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  System Restore is a very useful tool, but it is not the miracle solution! :-)

  Your "ntoskrnl.exe" file seems to be corrupted and this file is very important as you BONE!
  You can try to start Notepad, and then press the key "F8". This will take you to a menu and you can choose the 'last known good configuration"and the VGA Mode.

  If you are lucky your laptop work after that, otherwise you can only recover the portable whole! But if you have important data on the NB you safe to an external drive!

• 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?

  Hello

  You can try some third-party data recovery software which is available free on the Net and try to recover the lost files. You can access the link below and download the file and check if the files can be recovered.

• System restore recover deleted files?

  Original title: Windows recovery and office productivity.

  Suppose my computer hard drive is partitioned into C:\ and D:\ and sometimes I delete some files (which are not system files) in the drive D:\ (which does not contain the windows), a system restore will recover files?
  Second Question: How she chooses a certain specific pages to assign page numbers to in microsoft office word 2010, assuming that I have a 20 page report and I would like to number the pages of a to the last page without the first page on the computer start?

  System restore do not know or care about your personal files.

  If you accidentally delete a file, and it is not recoverable from the Recycle Bin, there are third party tools that you can watch to see if they can recover your lost files.  In general data from the 'deleted' files remain on the hard drive until the premises they occupy is needed for something else, while the space where your deleted file is crashed.

  Keep in mind that you "use" your disk and read/write data, less your chances of file recovery will be since XP can decide to use this area of the disk where the deleted file is.  So, if you delete something by mistake, you should try to recover as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Some people have good result with this free tool (you can use Google to find others):

  Recuva

  If you want to try it out, install it, make a few temporary files or copy some files somewhere in another folder/location and remove the temporary or copied files on purpose.

  Then see if Recuva will get it for you.

  If you don't like it, uninstall it.  Sometimes I install just to recovery a file (s), then uninstall it when I'm done.

  keimanzero,

  Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
  First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

  Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
  2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

  If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• IPod Touch App data files are saved by the XP system restore?

  I lost the data files for the applications on my iPod Touch after a BSOD on XP so that the update to iTunes.

  "Restore from backup" in iTunes restores only the empty files, due to him having a synchronization since the failure (iTunes replaces its unique to each sync backup file), so I'm now scrambling for an alternative.

  What seems to offer the best chance is to do a system restore XP from a restore before the BSOD Point - but I don't know if the Restore Point contains a version of the iPod data files, which are stored in the hidden folder C:\\Documents and Settings\ (username) \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup.

  I found a note saying: the XP System Restore saves nothing of My Documents, but wonder if it means really nothing is recorded in Documents and Settings...

  Can someone enlighten me as to the probability of the iPod Touch App data being in a Restore Point, please?

  Hi BrianCrabtree,

  I suggest you to send your request to apple support because the problem is with IPod touch applications.

• System Restore has removed my personal files

  Today 26/12/09 and I added a new folder and photos on a secondary hard drive (D :) on my PC and put one of the images as my desktop background.) I then changed the date of my computer to 03/11/08 and then noticed that I had to do a system restore to an earlier version (12/23/09) day of this year. Once the computer has been restarted, my PC has been arrived in 2008, which erased all my points 2009 recent restoration. I also noticed that folder and photos originally placed on additional hard drive completely disappeared (I tried to search for all the ways I could - I remember one of the images had the words 'eyes' in the title). However, the picture that I put my wallpaper is always displayed. When I look at the display properties, it does not show what the name of the file is good... He pointed out just a different picture. This leads I think that the record and the photos may still be on my computer, but I don't know if they are hidden or something? Is there a way to search where the desktop display properties is actually the link to the file currently displayed as my wallpaper (photos of 'eyes')?

  Oh, and I changed the date of my computer in 2009.

  the same thing happened to me, I downloaded a free recovery program, the files back and tried to copy on my desktop, a window then asked if I wanted to replace the same files in the folder, which meant that they were hidden just for windows 7 If you go to your computer, click the button hold, then options records and research near the bottom it says 'show all files' with a checkbox, click on it then click on where you have the files/folders and they will be a little transparent, make a right click on the file/folder and select Properties, downstairs there two checkboxes, one with "read-only" and the other with 'hidden' uncheck both and click on apply ". , a window is displayed, select 'apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files' press OK and click OK, then the same thing to another until you have your files back

• file missing or corrupt XP Windows, system restore disks do not work. Help, like xp, like vista or win 7

  My desktop has windows xp media center edition with Service Pack 3 for years, there work and maybe it's time to junk food, however my laptop has windows vista, which I don't like, I have seen windows 7 and am not fond of him either, so what can I do?

  I'm writing this in case others have had the same problem, I had and it was impossible to restore.

  When I pressed "del" and got the installer, I looked in the first box, product information.

  This info was typed in a field of google search on a working pc, and I discovered that I could restore my pc by pressing the ALT key and pressing F8 repeatedly. It will work for Acer Asprire anyway. Just an idea for all those who were distraught as I was and knew nothing about the restoration or what my pc really was. I was lucky and got my restored xp, it works ok and I enjoy it once more.

  Good luck to all of you who have had the same problem I did.

  Whenever I turn on my pc, I find the time to scan the disk and chjeck to find errors etc, just to try to avoid
