the files are already gone
It seems that all my files were deleted and there is only one difference, that I remember happened previously. My computer is slow and a message box pops up asking me if I wanted to move to vista basic I did. This could be the key to my problem and if so how can I solve this problem?
Thanks if you can help me.

Do not provide more information.
The EXACT details are necessary to help you.
If you reinstalled Vista, you have major problems with your files.
Read this:
If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.
You can try this program:
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html
Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

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 modeWhenever 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.
Hello
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
Thank you for details on the question and your efforts to resolve.
It is regrettable that disappeared from the local disk files. It can be caused by a virus.
However, you can try to recovering files using the historical file.
Refer to this article:
Restore files or folders by using the history file
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/how-use-file-historyPlease also run Microsoft Security scaout to eliminate any virus or malware in Windows.
Reference:
Microsoft safety scanner
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspxNote: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
I hope this information helps.
Please let us know if you need more help.

WHY THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER, THE FILES ARE PROTECTED, CAN NOT BE REMOVE?
CANNOT DELETE THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER ALL THE FILES ARE PROTECTED. WHY?
You can delete all. TMP using Disk Cleanup http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Delete-files-using-Disk-Cleanupfiles. Of course, it won't delete those in use (not more), so, be sure you have not all open programs using temporary files, if you want to get everything. The best way to do it is to do the cleanup right after the startup of the system. The problem with OneCare is that it doesn't give you the option to choose the files you want to delete (as fair. TMP files) - she does everything that it considers unnecessary - and it can take hours to complete because of the antivirus and anti-spyware scans it includes (which can be excluded and drastically reduce the time but it is difficult to resist doing the chore together once you're already there and ready to do maintenance work).
While you're there, you should consider to optimize your system with http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance.
What are two tasks that should be part of a good monthly maintenance program to keep your PC/laptop running in peak condition. There are other steps as well, that I would be happy to break it down if you want to know - but this isn't what you asked, so I'll skip that for now.
Good luck and I hope this helps! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

I did a system restore and the files are still there, but I can't find the location.
I did a restore on my Windows XP system because I was not able to access my desktop because the password entry bar giving access to the Office not show up no matter how many times I rebooted the computer.
When I made the recovery of the system, he said that my files were not going to be deleted, all programs were still there, but the photos, videos and music were gone from My Documents.
So I tried to find on the C drive, I thought that maybe they had just moved somewhere else. I even went in the folder options to show hidden folders, but the files are not in one of these folders.
However I know that the files are still there, because when I look at the properties of the drive C with the right click of the mouse, it says drive C is always full, as it was before the system recovery. So this means that the files are still there but I don't know where.
I have lots of family photos and videos that I want back. These are the only things I want to get back and maybe my music files.
Any ideas how I can find these files or the folder that contains the? Perhaps through MS-DOS or something like that? I have external hard drives to copy if I find them.
Maybe this will help you:

I checked my apps and nothing is running would be to use the image. Can someone look over my EtreCheck and tell me if there is something current funny? I'm working on hundreds of images, so just change the name is slow and heavy work around. The problem seems to have started after update 10.11.

Please read this message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.
Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.
The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.
Test in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

Portege 3440CT freezes after some time while the files are copied
Hello all :)
It seems that I have the same problem as missred in this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232 (bottom). Unfortunately I can't answer it this is why I am writing here. The version of my laptop is 3440CT.
My test was to make a win98 HD bootable with directory i386 on it, the start of this drive and run the Setup with winnt.exe. OK, it works, but while the files are copied after awhile it just hangs. I tried with a partition and i386 on the active system partition and with two partitions and i386 on another non-system partition. I don't have floppy or CD for the laptop drive.
Any ideas what's happening? Is it possible to install XP on the same disk, installing XP is started from?
Can't wait for your answers ;)

PS: My other tests were:
-complete the installation of XP on another computer, then move the reader
-Installation of XP on another computer until it resets first (after you complete composing the installation files), then move the reader
both without success. I also changed the drive to another as I suspected it is physically damaged. Now I'm ideas ;)> OK, it works, but while the files are copied after awhile it just hangs.

To me it sounds more like a HARD or RAM disk as an incorrect Setup procedure failure.What do you think?

How to open the files transferred from one computer to another computer using hardrive external. The
host computer contains windows 7 wps writer and destination 10 windows computer. The files are zip compressed files.
Essentially, just drag the files from the external hard drive to your new desktop computer (or another folder) and double-click it to open the file.
Don't forget, you must install the program that reads that kind of file. If it's a RAR compressed file, for example, your new computer will not have software to open it again. You will need to go download the compression program to open it first.

Hello-
I use Windows 7 Professional and everything seems to work very well. I joined my new Transcend f25 USB (300g) to use for backups. I copied on about 20 concerts of archives and had run Windows it's first backup.
Everything seemed fine, and the available space on the disc is now about 230g, that sounds right. The problem is I see only empty folders on disk!
Now, I know with certainty that the files are there because I tried to plug the drive in an old laptop XP - bingo there was all my files! Can someone advise me? This seems to be a configuration problem, or maybe a drive error. The files were there when I added in the first place, however, is very strange!
How can I see my files? Help!
Thanks, Dave
Check the disk for errors by using this procedure.
1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.2 - Click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
