| 873261 | 2010-04-06 00:23:00 | i changed the SID unintentionally, if I knew my computer would crash i would have never even considered it, obviously. | h4rsheys (15319) | ||
| 873262 | 2010-04-06 00:24:00 | No offense, but noting how many things you seem to be stuffing up here I'd strongly advise you don't do anything further to it, and take it to someone who actually knows what they're doing. If you're wanting free recovery tools... testdisk / photorec (both part of the testdisk package) are outstandingly good tools. If the data exists, these tools will usually recover it for you. Note that these are both Linux CLI tools. |

| 873263 | 2010-04-06 01:02:00 | I am lost for words here. Why would you formatt the harddrive when you new data was on it you needed then try and use recovery software to get it back. Should have either installed another hard drive and copied the files to it or removed the current system drive and put in another PC/external drive and copied the files. Then tried to run sysprep.exe from c:\windows\system32\sysprep folder. Set drop-down box to OOBE and check the Generalize box. Reboot. This may or may not have worked but would have been worth a go before formatting. Now you are starting from fresh and I doubt you will recover your files. Why they are corrupt I do not know and I doubt it is from changing the SID. No help in this post I know but you are on the road to rebuild. As Erayd has said, if the data is that importatnt it is time to take it to someone who knows what they are doing! |

| 873264 | 2010-04-06 01:22:00 | another example: when i open a word file it states- "word cannot start the converter mswrd632" i searched this online and it links to a registery error . However after a fresh reinstall of windows AND a test on a different computer- i am sure the problem does not lie within a registery error for the computer, but lies in the file itself . I REALLY need your help guys- is there a way to repair these files? nobody seems to be responding . There will corruption for sure someplace . As for people not responding :mad: Every one here does it voluntary, No one actually works for Press F1 - We (well most) have normal day jobs, or are retired etc . Wheres the backups as sweep mentioned ?? Its VERY important to do them as disaster can happen any time to anyone - my own main PC this morning - on startup the HDD failed :mad: After getting a new drive, the full system backup from last night is now transferring and installing . DONT fiddle when you dont know what you are doing -- why the hell did you format the drive before saving the data -- geeeeess :groan: What would have been a simple job has turned into a nightmare . By formatting the drive THEN trying to recover data, you more than likely destroyed / corrupted the items trying to be saved . |

| 873269 | 2010-04-06 03:14:00 | Bit late now but a couple of so simple things could have been very helpful in repairing this system. 1/ Make a back up of your data. 2/ A image of your operating system and maybe even of other partitions could have made it somewhat easier to restore back to working. Moral of the story, learn from your mistake(s) and back up and maybe even image your drive as well. |
