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...

I hope I'm in the right place. A while back I was copying some family files over from some (a few ancient, like 1990s) hard drives on my Ubuntu rig over to a new external 1TB NTFS HD formatted in Windows 8, nothing special. I was using the Ubuntu rig cause a few of them wouldn't initialize in...

Help! I have had a master file I have been working on for 2 years. Yesterday I spent all day on one of the sub-files. Today I looked for the Master File and it had completely disappeared along with ALL of the sub-files (including the one I had been working on). So I ran CCleaner and sure...

I have a problem with my Windows 7 computer. I installed a modified version of Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit called Tiny7 (search it on Google). which is basically a version of Windows stripped down of unnecessary features in order to keep it lightweight for older computers. I decided to install...

I had 8.1 on my laptop but suddenly wouldn't boot "not recognised", online forum said change the "secure boot" and change the boot mode to "CSM boot" would fix it. This didn't work so download a recovery disk as I couldn't even boot my separate recovery drive on the laptop. I created a bootable...

I create a new system image every week on a secondary internal drive. Do I need to make a new system repair disc too, or will the existing one continue to function?

Am I the only person who has been bitten by this "feature?" In Windows File Explorer I have chosen the single-click option rather than double click. I have also chosen to use a check box to select multiple files (rather than using control-click). I can select multiple files by clicking a check...

HAPPENED TODAY. I haven't switched the laptop off since this happened (in case that helps find it!!). I was working on a Doc and decided to put it into a different folder, which I did. I also happened to empty the Recycle Bin. So the original was deleted! When I went to work again on the...
