Solve : Can't locate some scanned files?

Answer»

Hi guys

Sony Laptop, basically this is what has happened.

I did a Windows Back up on 11/11/13.
I scanned further documents into a folder between 11/11/13 - 9/12/13
They were scanned as (.Jpg).

The laptop didn't boot - up on 9/12/13.
I tried everything to get it to boot-up.

I purchased an external hard drive on 20/12/13.
I carried out a Rescue Data on 20/12/13 to an external hard drive. The Rescue Data was successful.

I have now USED the Vaio Data Restore Tool.

I don't see the files scanned between 11/11/13 - 9/12/13.
So where would those jpg files be stored in the Rescue Data back up? I can't find them.

Thanks in advance

Please state the format of your way of writing dates, just to eliminate any confusion with regard to them.You stated the missing ones were Windows backups...
Hopefully they were'nt wiped when you used the Viao backup as they wouldn't be included in that...the Viao backup restore would only be the files since that backup was used.

Please clarify which was done...in the meantime either search by the *.jpeg wildcard attribute...and/or search for whatever file extension the Windows backup uses...Hi Soy

Hi Patio

I'm probably not explaining it correctly.

Windows Vista - Control Panel - Back Up Files - was last done on 11TH November 2013 (Recovered scanned documents)

I scanned documents after 11th November 2013 up to 9th December 2013 (Documents not recovered)

9th December 2013 to 20th December 2013 laptop wouldn't boot up.

I'll try a search as suggested.

According to MS they are stored as .zip files...try *.zip as well...

Hi Patio

No joy with JPG or Zip.

The Rescue Data recovered 18.1GB of Data. The manual STATES use Rescue Data if the Data has changed since a Back Up.

Bizzare, I've got a RescueFile List with the following extension:- RFT File, the extension should be RTF I THINK.
