Restore My Files : Information & Data Recovery

I have a mini sd chip that I use in my phone and has mysteriously become corrupted and says I need to format it. Now, to get the information, I have downloaded the Icare software, which is a recovery software, how do I know what the drive is for it? And is there something better I could to to recover it? Any information is greatly appreciated.

When you connect your sd chip to computer, you will see it shown as a drive letter in ‘My Computer’. That’s the drive letter.

For recovery software, a popular one is asoftech photo recovery, people used to use it to recover pictures, song, videos, documents, and other deleted files. You can get it from

disks from a newer model HP laptop? Or will I need to order disks from HP? Please help…
Will the recovery disks include everythiung OEM software? Like operating system and all factory installed programs?

If you mean that you need to install a new hard drive and use your current OS recovery disks, then yes, that will work.

As long as the OS is the same (Windows XP, XP Pro, Vista, etc.) as what you had originally installed, and you have the key (found on the Microsoft Windows tag on your pc), you can use any disks from any pc. The key (literally) is to have the code that is on your pc.

You will need the driver disk from your pc to get all of your hardware running.

So, any CD that has the same version of your OS will work, but you will need the driver CD from your specific machine.

Half of my laptop (Sony Vaio NW) harddrive is full, i want to completely format the hard drive and, basically, start over. However i was wondering 3 things.

1. if i make recovery disks, will i be able to format the harddrive, put the recovery disks i made in, and boot the computer, then reinstall the Windows Vista?

2. I used an upgrade disk to Windows 7 on the laptop, will the recovery disks make a recovery of the upgrade to 7 or the original vista on the laptop?

3. will i be able to use my windows 7 upgrade after i have recovered the disk onto the laptop?

1. Yes
2. recovery will recover whatever is on the disk. Since your computer comes with vista and you upgraded to windows 7 yourself, it will reinstall vista.
3. Yes i think you can, since it’s an independent upgrade

I just recently deleted a huge folder in my documents called Videos.
It had over 200 movies in it. and lots of home made videos.
I cant find it in my recycle bin. D:

So i got Pc inspector. But im a newb to this stuff.
How to i get it back. Because i dont see any options saying restore videos folder. >.<
Ok what if i dont see anything under logical drives?

you may use other file recovery tool to get them back. A popular one is Asoftech Photo Recovery Pro. This tool can deep scan your computer and recover your lost files back without requiring extra skills. Here is the steps might be helpful to you:
1. Download the free trial version of this program on your compute. here is the link: http://www.asoftech.com/apr/
2. Install and start the program, select the drive where your lost files located, click Next. Now the scanning process will start to search the deleted files. After a while you will then get a list of recoverable files.
3. Preview these files to see if your lost ones are there and then perform full recovery.

I re-installed windows and lost all programs and files. However they are now saved in c drive along with HDD recovery in D Drive . How do i launch these programs from the c or d drives?
I have a toshiba l300 laptop.

Most likely, you boot up and choose the recovery instead of windows to boot, and then it will unpack itself

when your laptop boots, you may temporarily see a menu for windows, or the recovery partition, although it may be set to move straight into windows without waiting for an answer. All i could suggest for that is to keep an eye out when you boot, and if you do see it, quickly use the arrow keys to choose it.

According to a toshiba forum, looks you might need a CD that came with your laptop to activate the recovery partition, have a look for one, or download a replacement!

Hope this was of remote help

My toshiba laptops fan burnt out which resulted the death of my hard drive. I need a company that will not hurt my pockets too bad. I know that I need a level 2 or level 3 recovery, and as always thanks in advance

I restored my computer recently and backed up all my data on an external harddrive. i dumped all my files abck onto my computer after i re-installed windows, but now im at a loss of how to re-install programs i had installed before system recovery. mainly speaking, i need to re-install my fl studios program, how do i go about doing this?

You have to go to your computers operating system website e.g. dell.com. Download all the needed programs onto another computer. When it says save or run when you download something click save and save somewhere. Download everything you need and drag it to your external hdd and then plug into your other computer and drag somewheres and doubleclick to install.

Hello,

I have a slightly stupid question to ask. One of our staff is having persistent issues with what seems to be a corrupt installation of Windows XP. We wanted to use an HDD imaging program to backup all files, settings and 3rd party software. My only concern is that since there are issues with the current XP installation, if we take an image now, would those issues return after the image is loaded on another PC? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Max

do a repair with the original disc 1st…

I have a toshiba and tried the out of box option first but my system kept freezing so I tried the next option but decided I didn’t wanna wait that long! Ugh bad idea…now it says no bootable device insert boot disk. Doesn’t let me even go to the F8 options now…

I don’t have a vista cd bcuz my laptop came with none. I ordered a copy of windows hdd recovery and vista but how am I supposed to install it without the product key? Where do I find this now?
