I accidentally hit the wrong button and insted of "hiding" a file I hide the C drive and now I can't seem to use my computer. it only loads in dos and says the c drive isn't there can somebody tell me how to fix this. Oh I bought the computer from someone and don't have any start up disks thanks

[jkmira]

no I only get a c prompt and nothing I type in works. I know the drive is in there just hidden and I can't get to it.

[dsenette]

this is why programs like this are dangerous...one false move and WOOPS....you have absolutely no system disks whatsoever? is that because the computer didn't come with them or because you lost them? what kind of computer is it? how attached to your data and programs are you?

[jkmira]

when I got the computer it was just that no disks or anything. I am pretty attached to my programs seeing as how I don't have anyway to reinstall them, (no disks) I just hopt there would be a way to unlock the secrecy file without having to go into windows. Like accesseing the program from dos or something

[dsenette]

well....when you get to the c: prompt that you get...type dir /p does anything show up?

[jkmira]

I'm not completely computer literate so yes a list of some sort

[dsenette]

i googled the software and i can find downloads of it but no support info except for their email address [email protected] shoot them an email and see what they say

[jkmira]

thanks for the help I will

[dsenette]

i emailed them as well to see what happens....

at the cprompt that you get to type

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe and tell me if the system restore utility comes up (god i hope it does cuz i just got a non-deliverable response from that email addy)

[jkmira]

well I tried typing in %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe at the c prompt and it said it was a bad command or file name so maybe I did something wrong

[dsenette]

at the prompt type

cd windows <press enter>
cd system32 <press enter>
cd restore <press enter>
rstrui.exe

[jkmira]

every prompt I give it says

Volume in drive C has no label
Volume Serial Number is 3D2a-1907
Directory of C:\windows

file not found

672.12 mb free

so yes a list of some sort

Is "Windows" in the list?
