How to regain personal certificates after System Repair?
Hello
Week ago just experienced something very strange: while casual surfin' - PC crashed - rebooted and opted 2 options: normal start, system repaire (recommened).
I don't know exactly what was written,but that's basically it.
The startup repair always failed to identify the problem. And normal boot hanged at logo screen.... Something like: Startup repair - Certificate recovery so I had to do something to get PC going again.
Then after reading forums,... tried repair with install DVD - I put it in: and it offered repair... everything went well. It's just that I lost profiles of 2 users I had
Now... Programs are all there up and working fine: profiles, and data in "My Docs" is lost - along with certicates... It said it won't touch personal settings... so I went on with repair from DVD
Now: can I get these data back: certificates from certificate store (imported via IE), would be great, even better if I would get Documents for each (previous) users - the pics, word,.... is it all lost: is it anywhere on the disk? Or lost forever...? I really would need at least certificates
I would be very glad for any help...
Also: WHY? Why thid this happen? It was not a virus or malware (99% sure).... I think it have something to do with sytem updates and system (win7) not some setting or similar.
