Brilliant idea, I might add that if booting from a dvd/ cd does not work out for you there are usb alternatives usually. To list a few that I have used to recover data (straight from wiki bc im lazy)Code:[LIST] [*]BackTrack[FONT=verdana]: A security distribution which can also be used for forensics and data recovery as a Live CD (GCC compiler and ddrescue pre-installed, and it avoids tampering the disks).[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]BartPE: A lightweight variant of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 32 bit operating systems, similar to a Windows Preinstallation Environment, which can be run from a Live CD or Live USB drive.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]Hiren's BootCD: A boot CD containing various diagnostic programs such as partitioning agents, system performance benchmarks, disk cloning and imaging tools, data recovery tools, MBR tools, BIOS tools, and many others for fixing various computer problems.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]Knoppix: The original Linux Live CD. It contains many useful utilities for data recovery.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]SpinRite: A FreeDOS-based data recovery tool for hard disks and magnetic storage devices.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]SystemRescueCD: A Gentoo based Live CD, useful for repairing unbootable computer systems and retrieving data after a system crash.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]Trinity Rescue Kit: A free command-line Live CD Linux distribution created especially for rescuing Windows PCs.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]Ultimate Boot CD for Windows: A Microsoft Windows XP Live CD with diagnostic and repair utilities built in, useful for removing malware and recovering data.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]WinPE: A customizable Microsoft Windows Boot DVD (made by Microsoft and distributed for free). Can be modified to boot to any of the programs listed.[/FONT] [/LIST]
My question is if you can not use your PC then how do you know the files have been deleted? If you are just assuming they are deleted then I suggest getting a live CD and retrieving you lost files as you were advised on previous post. Now if getting your RoboForm passwords would help you out as far as getting email addresses and access to accounts you did not memorize, I also have a solution for that. Preferably after you have created a backup of your hard drive, If you have a newer copy of windows (vista or newer) get a copy of Windows your pc had and re-install the operating system. DO NOT format the hard drive before the installation, not doing so will create a folder in the c: drive called windows.old.
Re-install RoboForm. Then locate the "My RoboForm Data" "My Documents/Documents" folder inside windows.old and copy it/replace the freshly made one from your installation. Restart your computer.(just to be safe) you should have all your accounts/passwords then.
To delete windows old (after you copied the files you want to transfer over mp3s,movies, docs, etc.) you can delete windows.old by following these steps: (from microsoft website):
Code:[LIST=1] [*][FONT=verdana]Click Start, type disk cleanup in the Start Search text box, and then click Disk Cleanup.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]In the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, click Files from all users on this computer.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]Click to select the Previous Windows installation(s) check box, and then click OK.[/FONT] [/LIST] [FONT=verdana]Advanced users can also use a command prompt to delete files and folders from an earlier installation of Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:[/FONT] [LIST=1] [*][FONT=verdana]Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]At the command prompt, type takeown /F <DriveLetter>:\<FolderName>\* /R /A, and then press ENTER. Note When you run this command, you are granted ownership of the administrator group for the folder, of all the subdirectories in the folder, and of all the files in the folder.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]At the command prompt, type cacls <DriveLetter>:\<FolderName>\*.* /T /grant administrators:F, and then press ENTER. Note When you run this command, administrators are granted full rights to all files and to all folders.[/FONT] [*][FONT=verdana]At the command prompt, type rmdir /S /Q <DriveLetter>:\<FolderName>\, and then press ENTER. Note When you run this command, all subfolders and all files in the specified folder are deleted. Additionally, the specified folder itself is deleted.[/FONT] [/LIST]
I hope this helps......
Hi http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/members/635879-smbx33.html, Thanks for taking so much time to write this post. When I plugged my hard drive to another computer I found out that the RoboForm data has been been deleted. I used all possible Recovery data to recovery my lost data.. I got the Roboform data files but all of them are corrupted. I checked out over the net to get the file fixed but could not find anyone who could do it, not even RoboForm technical department. I had sent them a mail. I am now looking to get those corrupted files fixed. Hope I will find someone who could do that for me. Let me know if there is anyone who can do that for me.
Thanks once again for the reply.
