My Thinkpad crashed and luckily I had backed up 2 days before using Rescue and Recovery. All my files have been retrieved including the Lotus Notes archives etc....except for my contacts (address book) which are a file called names.nsf.

My office pals are constantly creating lenghy file names and folders that surpass windows limits, which is causing problems when I perform or restore backups. Is there a way to just stop windows from letting a user write or copy a file which exceeds the limits imposed by the OS itself?. I´ve...

K so here's the story. I downloaded something and restarted my computer. It says windows isn't working correctly and asks if I'd like to format. I clicked yes but during the format my laptop shutoff from lack of power. I turned it on and it's been on the same screen for an hour now. I'm worried...

I am trying to migrate Win 10 from a 1tb partition on internal drive C: to a 128gb internal SSD. I am using EaseUS Total Backup Ver. 8.2 to do this task. EaseUS suggests that you back up your documents, music, video, & pictures folders to a separate drive then erase all of the files in those...

I had some problem with Outlook Express - it loaded the same mails many times and then crashed. I rebooted the system, opened the application, ans the same thing again. Maybe after the seventh time, the sapplication seemed to function well. However, all the mails on the INBOX-folder were lost...

The other day, I attempted to make a Windows 8 Recovery USB using my external hard drive and the Media Creation tool. I specifically made a new partition for this process, as I had two other partitions on it with data. Making sure that the partition that was empty was selected, I successfully...

Hello again, No matter which undelete programme I try, not one of them will ever find a deleted file. I copy a file to a directory on C: or D:, delete it and then empty the Recycle Bin. Whatever application I care to use, the file, which is very unlikely to have been overwritten, can not...

Hello, I just accidentally deleted 4400 text files (1.5GB) on an NTFS volume that's probably heavily fragmented, although these files were created in a particular sequence. The files contain long columns of numerical data. If the undelete program takes one cluster from one file and another from...
