  1. System Reset w/ Keep My Files had lost power during reset and now ALL my files are...


    [COLOR=rgba42, 0, 170, 1]Please Help Me[/COLOR]


    It was a dark snowy/rainy night last night, and I was preforming a [COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]System Reset w/ Keep My Files[/COLOR] on my Desktop and at about 76% the power went out throughout my entire house. Many, many boring hours later when the power finally came back on the PC booted up to a page asking me to choose a operating system to load. There are 2 operating systems to choose from both say Win 10.....Important note: I have only ever had 1 operating system installed on this drive, never had to select between anything before this Ok so...choice number 1 took me back to recovery and started the reset all over again and completed with my login and correct user info but none of my files are anywhere....not where they should be and not in the windows.old folder. Ran a Recovery program and couldn't find them anywhere either. Now...Choice number 2 just restarts the computer and goes back to the same page of asking to select operating system to load, over and over again!


    Now in reality all I really care about is my data. I really have to get that back, so I'm hoping, praying, and crossing my fingers that someone has a solution to finding my files. As for the computer I know how to fix that issue by simply throwing it off my roof and then running it over with my skid steer repeatedly. But, as fun as that sounds no it just simply needs a fresh clean install once I can locate and copy my data off that drive. Like I said my main focus is finding that data so I really, really hope there is a solution to this and any intelligent help would be greatly appreciated!!



    Thank You

    :)

    help needed to reset file names

    I think if you associated the file type with cmd.exe it would reset it. Right click on the .dat file and choose open with. Hold the shift key when you right click if you don't see the option. Just have to find the right program to change the hover info. In folder options I think there a box for showing extensions on registered file types.

    help needed to reset file names

    i dont know what i did but somehow i changed all my dat files to show up as video cd movie files instead of saying its a dat file.

    im not talking about the file extentions because they still show as file.dat so thats still ok but the ID tag you see shown under the file name is whats showing up as a video cd movie

    can someone tell me how to restore this to the default file ID so it reads correctly again?

    i have uninstalled nero 7 thinking it had something to do with nero vision but that didnt fix it and i reset the defaults for internet options and i even uninstalled explorer 8 but that didnt help either.

    i would be very greatfull if someone can help me fix this *Respect :respect:

    thank you in advance for your help
