RECOVER CORRUPT MY DOCUMENTS FILES

[Guest 2929]

I was having some difficulties booting up Windows so I was

looking thru the options on the screen. I accidentally pressed to

REPAIR Windows, and it started the process. I aborted about 30

seconds later. I never did fix the Win XP issue, instead I hooked

up that hard drive to another computer so I can get to my

files, but I can only open SOME of my files. The other files are

not accessible. Does anyone know if that partial Repair damaged

them ?? Does anyone know how to make these files accessible again

?? They are photo and video files. Thank you so very much.

What exactly do you mean with "no accessible"? What error message do you get

when you try to open them? (Verbatim, please!).

 

Can you restore these files from your backup? If you don't have any backups

then now is the time to implement a backup scheme for your important files.

A 2.5" disk in an external USB case would be a low cost but highly effective

backup medium.

Pegasus, what program would you use to backup your files? Surely you don't

mean drag and drop in Windows Explorer?

 

I realize this is a new question in an existing thread but I asked in my own

thread and didn't get an answer for file backup (only disk backup).

There are a number of commercial backup solutions, e.g. from Acronis. Check

Google and be overwhelmed! I prefer to use a humble batch file. It simply

backs up the new/modified files in the nominated folders.

When I click on my folders the message simply states "Folder is

not accessible." It doesn't say why or anything else. What do you

think happened?? As far as backing up my files from now on,

I've got that covered. Any advice would be so very helpful. Thank

you.

This could possibly be a security/sharing issue

Assuming this is XP Pro and without much information given I would try

this as a simple first attempt to access the folder/files

 

Right click the folder in question

Then go down to and left click on sharing and security

Click the security tab

 

You will want to make sure that your administrator name is in the top

window and that if your an administrator of the computer

administrators has full control allow permission.

Make sure that full control is checked in the permissions for

administrator in the lower window below.

 

If you are not the administrator.

You will want to make sure that your username is in the top window.

 

You can add youself to the upper window by clicking on Add just below

the top window (Group or Usernames)

Click advanced

Click Find

Look for your username in the list and left click on it

Click OK

Then click OK again to bring you back to the Security tab

You will now see your username in the of Usernames list

Click on your username

In the bottom window put a check in the checkbox beside Full Control

under the ALLOW column

Click on apply then ok

Now try to access your folder in question in windows explorer

 

Hope this helps
