Any computer techies wanna help out.

Had to do a system recovery, but its wiped out EVERYTHING that was on the hard disk. All my music, my pictures, my dads work files, EVERYTHING.

Dunno what to do!

 

lol,dont think you can do shite now

 

Not alot you can do...

 

undo the system recovery ?

 

never heard of that one before

 

restore my pc to a previous point ??

Im just guessing

 

i think he means he used the restore disk it formats your hard drive

 

but is that just a quick one ?? doubt its gonna be a full format ... might be able to use some data recovery software to see if anything is left recoverable....

 

even if it wasa full you can still do data recovery.

its unlikely that much usefull survived tho. plus its gonna cost a few quid to buy the software

 

Why did you do a recovery?

What EXACTLY did you do?

You CAN find Free data recovery progs online, just one here:

I've recovered "lost photos etc" before, All is not necessarily lost.

Owning up is the best move, sometimes Dads know best.


If its any help, I'm a dad and if my sons had lost all my files they would only be able to use a keyboard with their toes,now.

Well it wouldn't let me go into safe mode, or anything else. So when the screen came up with the press f whatever for set up and press F10 for system recovery I did that... but once in it wouldn't let me come back out and its wiped the lot

 

Stu, start from the beginning. What was the problem and what did you do?

 

he just told you
he did a system restore wiped the lot

 

What I want to know is WHY, and WHAT procedure he used TONY

 

dont tell him stu

 

 

So you can't get safe mode to work, or run Windows normally, so how are you looking at the hard drive to know that its all gone?

 

he said he couldnt get it to go into safe mode, he has now formatted the drive

 

Anthony, you aren't helping much here

 

fook off and comb your hair

 

Can't see where he says he has formatted it.

You can help some people, but SOME people need HELP

 

ah right, there was me thinking his post said he done a system recovery, which i though was the same as fomatting it,lol

 

system restore shouldnt delete files! i suspect the thing that broke it in the 1st place (dodgy virus?) did that!

 

This is what I am trying to extablish by finding out the WHOLE story from start to finish Jim

But dear Pops is trying to be smart even tho he is a techno-virgin

 

lol,bet he used recovery disc's as jim said and what im on about.
anyway wheres he gone,wonder if his dad has killed him

 

 

Stu I think I might have a data recovery program I can point you in the direction of.

Its proved very good at retrieving stuff from a formatted drive.

All your data will still be there its just your pc cant see it.
