Can I recover my files!

sharadiyer · 10-24-2009, 11:53 PM

Sony Vaio OS Vista External hard drive 320 GB Transcend: I downloaded a locker folder (New softwares net inc-folderlock6.0 setup trial version with 30 free trials-now 5 more trials left as seen). I tried some 4 or 5 excel files, not so important, from Transcend with 100s of other files(photos etc) for the locker. But later, I saw instead of Transcend drive being shown, the locker with those 4 or 5 files were shown in 'My computer' !!!. This confused me and I used the applicaion removal mechanism. I don't know what prevented other files being shown. However, I seem to have visibly lost other files, movies, photos etc., I believe some sort of encryption has taken place rather than happening of some Transcend damage that could be a coincidence. In any case, can I recover the seemingly lost files? What should be done for this? Please provide solution.
Regards
Sharad.

Seems like there was another post about this software causing issues.

In any case, if the files are/were encrypted by the software, you will need to reinstall to the software and remove the protection from the files (hopefully).

Otherwise, try this sticky: Have you "lost" a hard drive, partition or files in your computer?
