Insert the Windows CD or a USB flash drive with the Windows ISO file and then click Start Installation. If you exited Boot Camp Assistant before installing Windows, open it again, choose Start the Windows Installer, and click Continue. When you’re asked to choose the Windows partition, select the partition that says BOOTCAMP. File sharing between Macs and Windows is a little lopsided. Out of the box, Macs can detect any Windows computer connected to the local network. It appears right on the Finder’s sidebar. So naturally, it is very easy for a Windows user to share their files with anyone on a Mac. The reverse process.

'Missing' is in quotes because I don't think the files actually missing, just not visible somehow. A user has brought me a pen, quite upset at having lost work. In Windows it reports that there is 280MB free of 1.8GB total, so it *thinks* there is something there. The folder/directory shows nothing though - not even hidden or system files. I tried using Piriform's Recuva but this turned up nothing (which did not completely surprise me - I don't think the files have been deleted, as such, hence why it thinks 280MB of 1.8GB free). I have tried Windows disk/scan fix. The green progress bar goes to 100% then it sits there doing nothing.

I can't even click 'cancel'. Any suggestions on what else I may try to recover this user's files? Thanks, Scott. There are no hidden or system files on this USB stick (I think I wrote that originally).

The the user's home computer is a PC laptop, not been near a Mac. The files have now appeared. In a manner of speaking. That is, 'some' files have appeared. Many many files with random and garbled names. I have only seen this before basically when a drive has somehow corrupted.

Along with the rubbish are several hundred.CHK files, which in theory could be recovererd from, but life is too short. Thanks for the replies anyway. All of those issues you described are possible, you just aren't looking or asking the right questions Bsmolinsky wrote: 'I am looking to have what MS 2006 had which was the ability to work on an e-mail while keeping access to your contact and calendar settings in the same screen.

Yes you can, and even if for some reason they have to, you don't have to go looking, when they want to attach a file, click the attach file drop down and the last file edited should be there If none of this covers what he wants I need a better explanation or a visual. From the computer management checks as the partitioned USB stick, and what type of file system uses.

If all goes well, and the file system is NTFS or FAT16/32, a utility may be sufficient to control disk usage ( WinDirStat, or Sequoiaview ) to find a lot of hidden files, the program used to access, bypassing the forms of limitation of Windows ( as long as they are not viruses, or it may contain). In the latter case you should recover any files placed in the quarantine folder of the virus that he has on his computer, hoping to find what he needed. If the file system is incorrect, or inaccessible, you should use a control program of the partition ( Paragon Partition Manager 11 is great and free after registration) to allow for any necessary exploration of the strange partition, and data recovery. Surely you need some experience and caution in what you can do. Finally try to educate your friend to affordable backup and recovery strategies: no wasted time, and probably you will not lose any more time and he will not lose more days of work to recover lost data! If all of the above fails and the files have been deleted by mistake there is an exellant program i have used many times its made me a small forture over the past year its called Data Rescue 3 ive been using it on my mac and it works brilliantly! Recovers files from formatted hard drives and usb flash as well as SD cards.

I managed to recover photos from a camrea that had been overwritten a few times, even some embarrasing photos lol. It also has a very cute and intresting GUI. You can also add your own file extentions for it to look for even if it doesent understand them. Data Rescue 3 for Windows Data Rescue 3 for Mac it costs 99$ of your good american dollars and can be 'aquired' from a number of diffrent places;-).
