How do I recover my files and programs after a failed win 7 repair?
Hi,
Today I tried updating my win 7 Home Premium using the win 7 iso, following the instructions in tutorials here at 7 forums, and everything was going great until there was a power outage and my laptop ran out of charge before the update finished . On restarting my computer, I was caught up in the endless loop of windows 7 attempting to rollback the update but failing. I however managed to start windows, only to find that all my files and programs were missing. They are however somewhere in the hard drive, as my hard drive still shows that most of it is in use. So my question is how do I recover my programs and files? I have tried for the past 5 hours to no avail, and I just cannot seem to find the windows.old folder. I have looked in the c:/$INPLACE.~TR and C:/ windows-Q folders and copied and pasted the contents, but folders appearing on my desktop after that are all blank. Please help! I have a wealth of data I really need to recover. Thanks
