Recover Data Files, Unerase Files

And i heard something about hp recovery software. does anyone have any idea about that. where to do free download of that software.

I inserted and ran a disk. I believe it’s a restore system disk and I don’t see my files anywhere. When I go to pictures all I have are sample pictures.

I need help because every time i do the system restore I can’t continue because it says “OS (C:) (system)” and it’s status say ready to restore and then when i press “next” a prompt shows up saying “Windows has detected a file corruption on OS (C:). You must check the disk for errors.” After that, it gives me a link read as “check disk for errors” i click and then a ANOTHER prompt shows up telling me disk options such as “automatically fix file system errors” (which is already checked for you) and another option “Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors” I checked both options and then clicked “start” and then the prompts close and nothing happens after that, Now i don’t know if it’s because of safe mode but it’s confusing me and i don’t know…please tell me what’s wrong with it…
((I’m 14 years old so please explain this in the simplest way you can.))
EDIT: I have a Windows vome basic premium…..i think it’s vista

there’s some problem in my laptop window because of viruse, so i install new window but from that time my most of the data in all drives show only folders in exe. files but show nothing in that folders and I WANT TO KNOW HOW I STOP THIS TO MAKE SYSTEM FILES AND HOW I RECOVER DATA.

A corrupt file in my computer is stopping me from logging on (PC, Vista)

I tried to run Start-up repair, but there were no results – the report just stated: “1 root cause” – nothing was fixed

I attempted to run System Restore (picking a restore point before the file corruption), but it didn’t work – the corrupted file is preventing it…

And i have no idea how to find this file and delete it.

I have however backed-up all my files, so is there another way to go about doing a System Restore or is a System Recovery my only option?

Thanks in advance
Okay, i was finally able to log in, in safe mode. I went to the drive, into properties and tried to do a error check – but nothing happened. After i clicked it, no new screens came up, nothing at all…

Even the disk check under system restore comes up with nothing – just like the start-up repair
I decided that a System Recovery was the best way to go, since I’d kind of run out of options.

I needed to get my computer working again, as soon as possible – this seemed the best way.

Gonna take some time to get things back to the way they were, but oh well…

Thanks to everyone for your help

I transferred all my data files to an external HDD because I am preparing to reformat my notebook computer. Unfortunately the external HDD malfunctioned and I could not access my files. I was able to recover some files and folders through WinXP System Restore but it could not recover files that were deleted more than 90 days ago.I have tried some software but they could only recover individual files.I want to recover the files in their original folders so I do not have to sort and categorize all those files all over again.Your valuable suggestions would be most appreciated.

im trying to back up my data onto a disc because i am having problems with my computer(keeps shutting off on me.tech support told me to do a system restore)
when i try to back it up i get a error message saying “disc c has errors.windows has detected file system corruption on disc c. you must check disc for errors before you can continue” theirs a check disc for errors link that i click and it and it runs the scan then the window dissapears. i try to go on but it gives me the same error message again. ive set it so it doesa scan everytime i start my computer.ive restarted it and the same thing happens. anybody have an idea on what i should do?

I’m using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition.The system file that was corrupted on my hp laptop is the Windows File System Transaction log.I am thinking of doing a system restore because I’m a having a trouble with installing windows updates due to the corruption of my Windows File system transaction log.Typing fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\ on coammand prompt did not work so I hope that doing a system restore will address my problem.I’m also having a little or maybe big problem with not being able to open my Disk Defragmenter window.Please help me!

Not the other Data File corruption, just the system files.

When I try to do a system restore, it says “windows has detected file system corruption on os (C:). You must check the disk for errors before it can be restored.” I click “check disk for errors” and it says “Windows can’t check the disk while it’s in use.” So I schedule a disk check for the next time I restart the computer. But, when I restart there is no change… How can I fix this?

I am planning to do a system restore on my Vista laptop hoping that it will fix my Windows Update problem caused by the corruption of my Windows File system transaction log.And probably also my Disk Defragmenter window which refuses to appear when I click it.

My friend performed a system restore on her computer & a lot of her important files were lost. She tried a program called “UNDELETE” by Paretologic & it found the lost files, but then wanted her to pay $65 for her to actually restore the lost files. It didn’t say anything about having to pay until that point. I’m hoping there might be some out there that are truly free & if so, which ones?

Where can i download data recovery software that can recover data from NTFS File system
