On my desktop my links to teamspeak gone.. Pictures removed, Music gone, Internet favorites gone... I dont know what the Hell happened. I have searched my hardrive everywhere. Could anyone figure what happened? or how I could find them? tried system restore...looked in User folders, searched both drives.. I have the hard disk from my old PC with windows 7 sitting around, could I plug that in internally and transfer the stuff over? Any ideas welcome. Well nothing is lost since its on another drive, but I figured out that everything Windows easy transfer moved over disappeared... So that isthe problem. those files where on C drive, then gone.. it will be fine, new drive didnt lose much.. JEEZ im a IDIOT Edited January 30, 2013 by Sweatnbullets Awards

I assume you Music was stored in you Windows Profile (My Music) Be sure you have the following set in your folder options: (Start-> Crontrol Panel -> folder options) You need administrative permissions! Uncheck "Hide protected system files" Check "Show hidden files and folders" (don't know the names of this options exactly in english) Check also the "Users" folder if there is a second profile with your name with additional chars like Name~1 or Name_old. Something like this. (You will see 2 user folders. One is locked) Sweatnbullets 1 Awards

I know, I know. Sorry to add insult to injury. If you have the drive that used to be your Win7 boot drive lying around, then yes, perhaps that's the best you can do. Hook it up and transfer the data off that. How long has it been since that drive was replaced by the SSD? Whatever has gone on in between, that's how much you've lost. Why not copy everything salvageable off that drive, format the thing, then tell Windows 7 to use it as a backup drive on a daily schedule? Sweatnbullets 1 Awards

It's a command prompt based utility that will recover files that have been deleted, but not overwritten. You might not get everything back, but you will hopefully be able to get most things back. I've had good luck recovering files with this utility on hard drives that had been "formatted" and the OS reinstalled. Sweatnbullets 1

The files are still there. you can use a utility and I am assuming posted above to rebild theh fat table. I dont know if I have a utilllty but I do have a boot cd/dvd image if you need ot access the hard dive without running the os off theh drive if needed. great for testing, recovering, check disk and imagine from one drive to another.
