Hi all,
I hope somebody can help. Basically I was asked to clean up a infected PC which was full of spyware and malware etc .. i've never really seen anything like it, when you opened IE 7 yes 7 ... it had so many toolbars installed .. some of which looked right iffy ... anyway back to my problem ...
Basically this PC had three profiles on it, and amongst one it had itunes with music etc and then some family photos ...
Needless to say that I attempted a system restore using Hiren Boot CD .. basucally I booted the mini XP and then proceeded to use the ERD tools namely the system restore to restore the system back a few months ...
And like magic this got rid of the infections so to speak .. however now when I look ast the contents of drive c: I can no longer see any files ... I have logged in as all three users and the same applies ... yet when you check the drive there is something taken up about 13 gig, so i'm sure the itunes music and family photos are there ..
Is there anyway I can dig in the registry and find the profile and restore from this by using the command prompt ...
I recall doing something like this years ago when XP was first out via the cmd prompt, and this resolved the issue, as you have the user profile and also the machine profile, any advice would be appreciated as really need to save the photos .. music we could recover if the worse came to the worse , as Apple would allow us to donwload all purchased music .. but if I could save the photos .. it would be good ..
Thanks in advance
