Chkdisk Deleted Files That Transferred
Aug 18, 2012
I purchased an HP system with a 2T hdd running Windows 7 Home Premium. I purchased a 128gb SSD drive since I'm a speed freak. I am running a dual boot with 2 separate drives with Windows 7 Ultimate on the SSD and keeping the same setup HP sent me. The 2T drive will pretty much be used for storage but I want to keep the OS on it in case I have a warranty issue. On another note, I am also running on UEFI.After days figuring out how to load the Windows Ultimate on my SSD using UEFI, I thought everything was fine. Yesterday I loaded the OS from the SSD and transferred some movie files to the 2T HDD. Later on when I started the computer, chkdsk came on and it started deleting all the movie files I had transferred. Today I loaded into the 2T OS and noticed Norton Antivirus was corrupted. I uninstalled Norton on the 2T since I won't be using that OS much anyways. What I also did was go into the folder where I transferred the movie files into and changed the security to accept me as an Administrator.I have then loaded the files back and chkdsk has not come back on. What I am scared of is if it does it again in the future, I may lose everything. What I am going to be doing is moving my user profile on the SSD to the 2T HDD since my SSD is only 128gb.Is Norton the culprit?

The Easy Transfer created 7 .mig files of which only 3 have been moved from my external hard drive to my C drive.All 7 are still in the external hard drive including the 3 in the C drive.How do I get them to finish transferring to my C drive.This is what I have to do-right?

I change date in my excel file. I drag it to an SD card for back up or put it on my network to share with my other computers. The new changes are not saved in the transfered files. I must delete the old file on the SD card or the networked computers first.

I had a computer with Windows Vista, which was developing some problems, so I bought a new machine, which runs Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12. I used EasyTransfer to transfer files to the new machine, and the music files are there -- I can see them in Windows Explorer. But WMP is only aware of some of the files. If I double-click a music file in Explorer, WMP will play it, and then it will show up in the library, but I have so many music files that double-clicking, and playing, every single one is not a great option. How do I get WMP to recognize all the files?

I'm having an issue with the creation/modification date of .mov video files on my computer. Simply, they both keep changing to the current date/time when I transfer them to my computer.
For example, if I transfer my .mov videos from my Canon camera via USB to my computer (copy from one, paste into the other), both the created date AND the modified date in Windows 7 becomes the current date/time that I'm transferring them instead of the date/time they were actually shot (which is indeed on the file in the camera). All other video types from other cameras or the like (MP4, MPG, WMV, etc.) don't do this. In fact, I've never experienced this with any of my movie files before and have always been able to see the time they were shot because the created and the modified dates will be when they were shot (and only one changes when I move them).
.mov files automatically get the current date/time for both the created date AND the modified date meaning a video shot and dated weeks ago on the camera appears like I shot it right now when it's transferred to my computer.
I'm not sure if this is a Windows 7 thing with .mov files or a Canon thing. I've posted in a Canon forum and nobody seems to know what I'm talking about so I'm assuming it can't be that widespread. I just don't know where to go with this and it's driving me insane. I hate that I can't tell when my videos from a trip or whatnot were actually shot. It looks like they were all shot at the exact same moment weeks after I got back!

My daughter has a toshiba external hard drive and is trying to transfer her Windows XP data into her new computer with Windows 7. It appears her files were transferred onto her new desktop, but when she tries to open the files, the computer tells her that it does not recognize the type of file and can't be opened. All the files are the same "file type" NRP? or NPR?

I am constantly running into issues trying to delete files--mostly .exes. It really interferes with many "autoupdate" programs like Steam and Origin. I have to use safemode to install updates... It also affects other things like compiling; I get occasional (essentially random) errors when the output file already exists and I want to overwrite it. I also can't delete the affected file(s) for a long time--often upwards of 1 minute. However, if I wait long enough, I can eventually delete the files.The error is always something like "you don't have permission blahblah." I have tried those unlocker programs, and while they can sometimes delete the file, an autoupdater (for example) can never actually write the new copy, even though I don't see the file in the directory.
I have tried running programs as administrator.I am using an administrator account.I have UAC dsabled.I am not running an antivirus or any program that should be interfering.I've tried changing folder permissions as per multiple guides I have read (some from this site).None of the above does anything..This problem has been plaguing me for almost 1 year. I have reinstalled Windows 7 twice in that time, and the problem exists from the get go. I have been using Windows 7 for over 2 years, but I never had this problem until my second to last installation. I don't know what changed.

I won't go into details for my asinine behavior in running a cleanup that deleted many important files. I can't even recall the program I used because it was a while later that I realized the mess I'd created...Anyway I have been reinstalling/updating programs for several days and am left with two big glitches.First, I no longer can launch IE. I actually use Firefox but need IE for my work site. I have uninstalled it from Windows update several times and reinstalled without success. I then had the idea to download and install Explorer 8. I figured I could then upgrade. Unable to install that as it was apparently "unsupported"by Windows 7 (32 bit).

I recently installed Windows 7 to my SSD. Its only 64GB so I set Windows up so that the Users folder was on my seconday (X drive instead of my SSD, and setup a Program Files and Program Files (x86) on my secondary drive. I used this. I deleted the account I made when installing windows and accidenally clicked delete files as well. This deleted all of the data I had in my Users folder and many in Program Files and other places. I used Recuva, but now all of the deleted files are in one folder instead of their respective locations. Is there anything I can do aside from reinstalling and salvaging what I can and reinstalling all of my programs?

I'm running a fairly new HP p6240f/Intel Core II Quad/2.50 Ghz/64bit with Windows 7 Home Premium. I've got a really strange issue.
When I delete a file from either the desktop or a windows explorer window the file "appears" to not go away, but if I double click I get an error that the file cannot be found. If I right click and then click on "Refresh", THEN it disappears.

My recycle bin does no longer retain deleted files and every time I delete a file it gives the warning that the file will be permanently deleted. Custom size of the recycle bin is 16375 MB; the option: don't move files to the recycle bin, remove files immediately when deleted is unticked; the option: display delete confirmation is ticked. This malfunction started after I downloaded a set of Windows7 updates. In the recycle bin there are still 3 files I had deleted as usual before the updating. I tried to go back to a restore point made before the updating but all the same the recycle bin does not keep newly deleted files.

My wifes computer packed in so I removed her hard drive and connected it as a second hard drive in my machine. I rebooted and left the room for a minute. When I returned the screen was scrolling in what I'll call dos mode and stating "critical error deleting file. I pulled the plug in panic before I saw what was being deleted and from what drive. I removed the second drive and rebooted no problem. Is there a log that shows what files were being deleted?

Windows loads up fine but when i shutdown and log in again it loads all previous files but no new or modified files. I thought my user account was corrupted so i created a new account. This worked but after the 2nd reboot a screen appeared before the login screen saying windows was configuring settings.

Several times now I have turned on my PC to find that all the font files in Windows 7 have been deleted leaving only Wingdings active. The only solution so far has been to do a system restore, rolling back several auto updates.Once was an anomaly - now its damn annoying.Has anyone seen this and have any suggestions or other solutions?On the upside, my wingding translation skills are improving daily

I was manually deleting a virus on my computer because no antivirus software could detect it and in the process I accidentally deleted a couple of system files, i think one of them was spider.exe, now my programmes wont open properly, only some of them will open and i have to right click and run as administrator for it to actually open, i really don't want to restore my computer, does anyone have any suggestions. I'm running windows 7, starter pack of that makes any difference?

Running weekly backups through the Task Scheduler; periodic checks always show task completed successfully; discovered that "completed successfully" doesn't necessarily mean "completed correctly"; checked in Control Panel >> Backup/Restore and discovered that Windows reports my last 4 backups are not complete...there were files missing. Missing files belong to a hidden user account created for irrelevant purpose. Hero computer tech finds/edits registry to remove hidden account and backups now runs correctly.Problem: I now have 4 backup files that are incorrect and I don't know if that will cause any problems if I forget about their condition and choose to back up to one of them in the future.

I used a solution I found online because I saw my colleagues files were all offline, she was also not communicating with the domain properly, once I got her back on the domain, the offiline files were there, so I used the solution to clear that up and get her back on a proper network drive. The BIG problem is that the stuff on the network drive was not current, and since I cleared the offline files, they were all deleted and now she has been set back as a result of this. I want to know if there is ANY ways to recover these files...I used the following solution in order to clear it up...

run ComboFix to get rid of the spyware, I got rid of it but in the process ComboFix deleted some of my files and placed them in Qoobox.How can I get those files back?Its really important as I invested lots of time on working with these files, they are .xml type ones.Also for finding them I used Pandora Recovery, I was able to recover these files with it but they were all 0KB. I have also not found any of this files in C:\QooBox\QuarantinePandora recovery shows that the files are located at C:\Qoobox\Test, but there is nothing there. [URL]

My computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium.I have been going through my Library directories, (in particular my Document directory), doing some housekeeping. You know the procedure, deleting old files which are no longer relevant and deleting stuff that I no longer want and stuff that somehow I have repeatedly located in different directories, getting everything rationalised and organised.The sort of files that I am deleting are Word and Excel files, .pdf Adobe files, downloaded program files that I scan prior to installing, zip files and folders and folders containing files - nothing out of the ordinary really!A couple of days later I notice those damned files that I know I deleted, (and I made sure that the Recycle Bin was cleared out too), have all somehow been reinstated to exactly where I deleted them from.I do perform a backup to an external hard drive once a week. The drive is a Seagate and I am using the Seagate backup software, but this shouldn't be causing this - should it? I'm only backing up, I'm not asking for it to restore anything.

I noticed that there were 2 program files folders. After installing a few programs, I noticed they were all going to X86 folder, so I thought this was an install error on the shipping companies part, and deleted the unnumbered program files folder. Is there a way to fix my messup ? will it affect performance ?

About 10 days ago I deleted two .avi files from my PC, and yet they continue to reappear in the folder where they were originally stored. When I try to delete them again, I am told that they cannot be found, so they actually have been deleted. Is there any way to get rid of the entries completely?

I just reinstalled Windows and I mistook my C drive for my Windows.Old file and I highlighted everything and clicked delete even after I was prompted about system files. My machine is running fine and I'm getting no warnings but I want to know what files I deleted and if there's a way to get these files back without losing everything that I reinstalled. Is there a utility to scan for any missing system files?

I transferred about 300 GB of files onto my EHD - I thought that would free up that amount on my computer but when I go into my computer and click on C drive it is still saying I only have 114 G available out of 582 G which is what it was before I transferred the files onto my EHD. It appears that the files are still somewhere on my computer and need to be deleted, I just don't know where to find them?

Deleting files and emptying recycle bin does not result in space being reclaimed on my hard drive. In fact, over the past couple of months, my hard drive space has been decreasing and decreasing and I'm at a loss to understand why.
