I don't have E drive though

F drive for some. Is it because the computer has not had a chance to sync that the drives cannot be found???

OK they will be the synchronisation links so again copy the entire folder then once restore replace it to the same place

[pewsey80]

I have copied the entire folder but still wary of not getting them back. In the worst case scenario. If it all goes pear shaped. Can I still recover these files....I reckon my marriage depends on it...
I have stored them on my USB and will transfer them ont a portable hard drive, that is the liks from
c:\documents and settings\louise.norbury\recent

My wife has just informed me when she goes to work she can access her files from any computer...Does this suggest that it saves it all on the server and transfers it across to her computer

If you have any worries at all then copy the entire users folders (documents and settings) C:\Documents and Settings\Louise.Norbury plus any other named user accounts

Yep that is what the shortcuts are, to other drives (server)

Why is it that when I stick the portable hard drive in it does not find it and yet when I stick the usb in it finds it staright away. This is okay but my harddrive is very large and the usb only 512mb

[Essexboy]

Not to sure on that - Is it a USB portable drive ? I will check the documentation

[pewsey80]

It's am iomega and works fine on my machine
I had to run the malware software on it only today as I used to in this compuer when infected with software on it to cure my problem I hoped. It found 8 items infected that were deleted and all workinf fine.....

It should detect it when you plug it in as it is USB - The programmes Author is probably asleep now so I may not get an answer till tomorrow

[pewsey80]

Can I just add a big thank you for everything you have done...you have been brillant and I have spoken highly of you to all my friends about this web page and the service..superb!

[Essexboy]

I am just sorry we could not get you up and running again without having to do this

[pewsey80]

Last post before I go to bed... I have copied everything across to my portable hard drive via the usb and then copying to portable drive taking time of course and then tomorrow I will try to follow your intructions to get it back again as above partitioning...Can any of these files be recovered in the worst case scenario or amI just worryng about nothing.

[Essexboy]

When you redo the system use the same names as previously i.e. Louise.Norbury that will ease the replacement of the folders and files

When the reformat is done it will wipe the drive clean. But if everything is on the server it should not matter a great deal, although you will need to re-install any programmes that did not originally come with the laptop

[pewsey80]

When I click on zero it does nothing and will not gointo system recovery
