Windows 10: Had power surge, now all my files are gone. Unable to install Windows File Recovery, error...

I had power surge, now all my files and when restarting, I inadvertently deleted my files. I'm unable to install Windows File Recovery, and keep getting an error message "unable to download this app, we're taking you to the app store"! Is there a tech that can help me, I don't mind paying. I used my computer for my business. I believe my computer has been compromised. Thank you for your help!Meldean Ray 310 977-0509

files have gone

I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed and MOVED the directory back again.

However, in the process, most of the files have disappeared! What I don't understand is why the original files were deleted if they were not copied over.

As far as I can see, the files have gone for good. Is there any hope? Friend suggest Data Recovery Wizard, can I try that?

 

Macbook system/file recovery [Help!!]

Tear out the drive and then run PhotoRec from a PartedMagic Live CD. PhotoRec recovers anything and everything that has bits and keeps it as it is. Format the drive after recovery, reinstall the OSX and dump the files back on.

 

Macbook system/file recovery [Help!!]

To put a long story short, Friend B has decided to try and upgrade/update the OS on Friend A's macbook.

It has gone poorly, and now the macbook boots into a 'system utilities' screen
This mac has no internal battery as it tried to explode, and was removed but never replaced. Could be relevant.

Some very unhelpful errors appear in the installer log:





any tips for reinstalling the OS without losing her personal files, or how to find those files (inclusing 'sticky notes' from her desktop) and back them up from the recovery mode/windows PC?
