Ghaaa!!! I hate Windows!!!!!!

So I turn on my laptop this morning and I get a little window saying it can't load my user settings. I push ok, being that it's the only button there, and go on. I log in to find the generic grassy hill back ground and blue start bar. Then I go to firefox to find all of my bookmarks gone, not to mention my extensions. Grr right? Then, just because I'm fearing the worst, I go to my docs. All gone. All my pics, all my apps, all my documents, everything. About the only thing I haven't lost is my programs. I'm suing Bill Gates.


Edit: AHH!! I just went to one note to find all of my freakin notes and user settings gone too!! *Runs off to punch things*

please tell me you backed your stuff up like on a dvd or something...

i hear ya. try having an external 320 GB hard drive going dead from the standpoint of the master boot record gets corrupted. meaning, your data is there, but the interface is saying "data, data?!? we don't have no stinking data!!" that was a good movie btw.

anywho, i got all the stuff back(it was half full) after using a drive utility tool. it always sucks to lose stuff.

You should still be able to recover your documents. Browse from "My computer" to C:\documents and settings\your normal username\your normal username's documents" and you should be able to get them.

If settings refuse to load its generally a problem in the registry with those settings, it loaded you to a default user account and not yours, so it isn't showing you your normal "My Docs" folder. Likewise, the things in your "My Doc.s" folder aren't likely to be damaged.

Try googling for fixes. This can't be a terribly uncommon problem.

Hahahaha!

i dono about firefox or what it even is. im guessing its a web browser...

with whatever i have its saved in docs and settings/username/ favorites. it has a big gold star as its simble. if not look in firefox folder in program files.

edit you could also check your cookies and history if you use the sites oftin enough they might be there

get a linux live cd to go file searching, its your best chance.



I would suggest Gentoo
