Recovering Old Files

dervaunseraun · 09-16-2006, 01:36 PM

I had to do a system recovery and I chose the option to save all files but when I went to run the computer again everything was gone. Is there any way to get my old files back?

The files are probably there but the path has changed. If you recall a file name, search for it and you should be able to determine the path to all of them.

Under the tools menu>folder options>view tab- select “show hidden files and folders”
