• 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.

  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.

• 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. When I format the drive, it has been formatted sucssfully, but in the formatted disk, a folder is created named as 'System Volume Information '. 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.

• Can I remove random photos in the system volume information?

  I understand very well this file.  I rarely restore, but sometimes I do.  The problem is that some files, aka viruses that have been removed, take place that I prefer to use for something else, aka my plans f #.  Can I delete random files in this folder?  I understand that I can remove the control panel restore point, but I want only to remove a specific file.  In fact, I don't know if this file is the file that I want to delete because of all the file names.  I made fair carsick enter this folder.  I want to just delete large files.  So the question is simply: is there something important it?

  System Restore uses log files to keep track of things, if you try to restore a point and System Restore detects that which is missing files or that it has been tampered with the restore point will fail.  Bert Kinney, one of the greatest experts on the restoration of the system, explains that the individual restore points can not be removed because... "Each restore points is chained (or related) as well as the previous restore points." When you choose to restore a system all him previous restore point are required to perform a restore, so if one is missing the chain will be broken and cause all the restore points are corrupt. At this point, all restore points will have to correct the corruption. So the best advice is DON'T touch the content of the System Volume Information folder. " http://bertk.mvps.org/html/Tips.html#8

  If you removed a virus if the deletion was successful and the system now works fine the best thing to do is to purge ALL restore points after having removed the virus successfully.

  You're overthinking this and you're too attached to restore points, if the computer is running well at the moment and if it has been so for a week or two then you can get rid of and then restore points create a new.  Set maximum disk usage that is suitable for the points of restore and you will recover some of your disk space for another use.

  In his blog Raymond says that 'folder contains casual interference could cause problems with the correct operation of the information system.  It could, but not necessarily cause problems.  For all its value, you can disable the system restore and other services that might use the IVR (indexing, Volume Shadow Copy & Distributed Link Tracking Service) (services that you might not use anyway) and then delete the entire folder, Windows simply creates a new brilliant when you restart!  Then when you restart the system restore or other services that use the folder they will just repopulate the record with their files.  People who make use of indexing service will generally not want to clear the folder because it takes a lot of "disk churning" to build a large catalog of indexation.

• How to remove an infected file in the folder SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION on T43?

  Respected Sir/Madam,

  Recently, I have bee affected by a series of blue screen errors. Norton AntiVirus and other well-known software just crash. Update of virus definitions files are reported as being corrupted. Fortunately, I used this SPYWARE DOCTOR which founf a file infected by HACKIT name. ROOTKIT in the SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION folder, which is hidden from the usual interface of WINXP.

  Please suggest some methods on how to DELETE the infected on this hidden folder?

  IF I MAKE THE HIDDEN VISIBLE THROUGH THE IBM R & R PARTITION, IT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE DATA ON THE DRIVE? ALSO, AFTER YOU DELETE THE INFECTED FILE BY USING THIS METHOD, IF I SWITCH IT BACK TO HIDDEN, WILL BE IS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE CURRENT HARD DISK CONTENT?

  pleas suggest alternative methods to get rid of this infection.

  Thank you!

  SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION is your Restore.As system an alternative to do a factory restore, try flushing the system restore, then you can start fresh. This procedure will not delete your saved data and apps like restoration to the State of the plant would be.

  In order to remove the XP System Restore Points:
  (On XP, you must be logged in as an administrator to do.)
  Go to start > run and type msconfig and press ENTER.
  When opens in msconfig, click Launch System Restore.
  On the next page, click System Restore settings on the left.
  Check the box enable the system restore.

  Reset. Reassemble and turn on system restore. A new Restore Point is created.

  So, if you still have problems, it would mean that you have active running malware, or you have run at the same time a scanner that was falsely reported as this file, please come back. Often our malware removal tools are captured by General scanners as "Hacktools.

• Cannot delete the System Volume Information trash

  I am running Windows xp on a Dell computer and I recently removed the System Volume Information folder on an external hard drive after the deactivation of the restoration of the system for this drive.  I don't remember how it happened, but the said folder ended up in the trash.  Now every time that I try to empty the trash, I get an error message indicating that access to the file is denied and it cannot be deleted.  I can see the folder in the trash, but I can restore it or delete it.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions, but unfortunately none of them allowed me to remove the stubborn system folder.  I had to start the computer in Mode safe, gives me full control over the folder to the trash (even though I am the administrator) and then finally was able to remove it. For some reason any Security tab does not appear when you talk about the Properties dialog box, unless you are using safe mode.

• New created manually on VISTA restore point erased all the other restore points

  I have windows Vista and suddenly CCC.exe began to appear and has completely changed my office. All documents on my desktop and icons (file photo) have disappeared. My husband's office has not changed.  My main problem is I did a restore of the system on Jan. 28 and will use the system restore points was (the first being 18 Jan) but thought that I need to come back a few days, so I manually created a restore point from January 26, 2016. Nothing has changed, so I'll use the point 18 Jan restoration but disappeared from all available restore points earlier (before the manual creation of a new).

  I want to make it clear that my restoration system and normally have restore points chose to EXCEPT those disappeared after creating a new restore point manually.   I spent a lot of time looking for answers without success - I've read a lot of problems have been System Restore does not work or restore points are deleted automatically, so that they do not apply to me.

  Help, please!

  Although system restore must be maintained at a min. amount of restore points, in the cleaning disc, other options

  Search button, clean the system restore, it removes all but the last restore point right... Back to youre

  problem, try the R.clicking on the desktop/properties/find "change desktop icons" on the top left, again

  window, select restore default settings, and / or modify, close... Then open cmd prompt, type cmd:

  Sfc/scannow the file check/repair utility runs automatically. Once through, type: CHKDSK C: /F agree to restart.

  type: EXIT restart the pc

  You can run the restoration cleaning before other measures are taken, this gets you the clean restore point
