Missing documents on father in laws computer drive
MS did and update and I had done some clean up on his system. I restarted and it will not boot. Tried reset. Tried to reinstall with media and would not do so and keep files.
I had also run MSconfig and checked marked for processors and max memory. As it always has started really slow.
Pulled the drive out to pull data off to wipe it and start over. Able to get all I wanted except Documents.
Can't find them on the drive. Looked on "c:" which became "J:" when using a usb adapter.
Under his User: Documents and Settings access denied.
Under My Documents no access.
He is 89 and doing his life story and it was all in there. Thankfully he prints most everything. We are talking 3" binders so should be a lot of info.
