So i went on a date with a girl last night and at the end she ASKED me to come inside and take a look at her PC. its an HP with windows xp.. she had this window that kept popping up when she started it up saying something about set to factory or reseal for end user. so to get rid of it i tried to reseal it (thinking that she is the end user) now some of her important documents are gone.. it started up like it was the first time windows started..

So, my question is, are those documents gone for good? i searched for Word Documents and none of them were there.. please tell me a WAY to restore those. it was our first date and i lost her divorce decree! please help if possibleYou call it a date when the girl asks you to look at her computer? oh what did you do? check the system restore, if you can restore ... then i guess you can un-embarass yoursef (if that is even a word). if you can do that you just unscrewed up your date.

but i do not think those documents are actually gone if you're lucky. just STOP all work on the computer and look into the restore.

if you instantly stop doing anything that anything that writes to hard drive like use internet or save files, you can potentially save the missing files.

System restore has saved me a couple times, thought the file was gone but i restored and it came back; although maybe not in full but enough to get me going.

thats right....system restorewell i was going to do system restore but when i tried it had no previous restore dates. and it was at the end of the date and she invited me in. i think if i would have fixed it the date would have ended much better.Quote from: Mikesway on October 31, 2007, 06:41:10 AM

I agree. If a girl asked me to look at her computer while we were out on a date I would either have:
A) SAID 'yes' because I thought it was the more up to date version of "so, uh... you wanna come up for some coffee? "
B)Left.

I don't ask girls to do my ironing when I go on dates, do I?

system restore is the solution...

To what...the ironing ? ?The creators of CCleaner have developed another tool, called Recova (sp?).

Anyway, providing the file hasn't yet been OVERWRITTEN, you might be able to recover it.

Try to use the HDD as little as possible, in fact, if you could slave it into another machine to run Recova, all the better (and possibly two visits to this ladys house).

Now, as far as fixing a computer for a date...I'll be working on the principle, I'll put out, if she puts out.

Lol.Recuva is the name of the program you are looking for.

Hope you didn't tell the lady her computer ain't working. You should have told her that she should stop using it for a while and you'll be back to take a look at it. Of course, you didn't know what her computer was like before she asked you on it.

But now, buy her some coffee and treats while you get to work ....
