Lost email plus some folders after recovery. Where are they?

I had to do a system software recovery. The screen said it would not erase data files. However; afterwards, some of my data folders are now missing. As well as ALL my email.
I suspect that the files and folders are still on my computer because my drive has about the same amount of free space available. The question is; where would those files be? Are they hidden under my old user name? I used the default user name each time which is HP_Administrator. Would that mean that the old user account got deleted with the new?
system:
HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7334n Desktop PC
Windows xp
*recovery files are kept on drive D:
****updated question ****
Can windows xp user accounts get corrupted? If so, is the data for those accounts also corrupted? And could it possible be retrieved? And how?

Thanks. I searched drive C:, the only *.dbx files it found are the new ones just created.
Again, some of my data folders (some, not all) was deleted. But my free disk space is about the same. Leading me to believe my data is not gone, just hidden somewhere on drive C:, but where?

    adding backing vocals is a feature, I can't find them or how to do it.
    The backing vocals are software instruments, listed in the "Choir" section of the software instrument browser. Afaik, the basic GarageBand does not have these instruments. My "choirs" all came with the JamPacks. The JamPacks are no longer sold separately, but if you buy Mainstage 2, you will get all Jam pack instruments and loops to be used with GararageBand; and it is not very expensive (~23 € at the AppStore).

  • Upgrade to FF .13 lost all my history, bookmarks, etc. Where are they?

    FF upgraded overnight to, I think, .13 level. I've lost all my history--no bookmarks (HUGE problem for me) plus sites I visit regularly are blank, etc.
    Where did they go and are they recoverable?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Itunes does not "SHOW" all of my folders of photos, where are they?

    some of my folders of photos are missing when itunes is open. I want to sync all my photos to ipad.

    Go to menu Edit -> Show Browser, and see if this is what you are looking for.
    Some of the genres are standard and cannot be deleted. That is why you have a bunch there when you have no songs when you first load iTunes.
    Other Genres are added based on the songs you import.
    I notice that on ocassion, when I import a new CD, sometimes the Genre will be similar to another one such as "Folk Rock" and "Folk-Rock". I just select all the songs in both Genres and edit the Genre so they are the same.

  • I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS 3.3.5 to iOS 5.0 and lost all my photos on the camera roll. Where are they and can I  retrieve them?

    I upgraded my iOS 3.3.5 to 5.0 on my iPhone 4 and lost all photos on camera roll. Where are they and can they be recovered?

    Have you been using your phone as recommended?  If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping.  Just as you would with a standalone digital camera.  Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival. 
    While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
    If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup.  Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.

  • After updating to iOS 8 all of my files in Pages are gone!!!! Where are they? And how do I get them back?

    After updating my iPad to iOS 8 all my files in Pages and Numbers are gone!!! Where are they and how do I get them back?

    If you didn't configure Windows Phone backup option or use VZW Backup Assistant then all is lost.
    If you did go with Windows Phone native backup and you use an Outlook account you should find your photos and videos on OneDrive.  I'm not sure how much VZW Backup Assistant backs up but you would need to start a restore from that software and see what's preserved.
    With any OS installs/updates a backup is always best to first.

  • In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    The application auto-saves your input when you close the document.  If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible).  Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
    Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

  • I updated to Mountain Lion and Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. Where are they?

    I updated to Mountain Lion and now Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. What happened and where are they?

    -------- "Your RSS data is not lost. You can find it in ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS folder."
    it's just as good as lost, if there is no way to load the info in that folder into a new reader.
    i followed that path, ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS, and I have almost 40 rss feeds. that means
    there are nearly 40 folders that I would have to go into, one by one, and extract the pertinent
    information, and import, one by one, into a new reader.
    this is a problem that Apple created. I would have never used the mail.app as a reader
    if I knew Apple was going to do this to us. And it makes you wonder what else Apple is
    going to do to screw us loyal customers over. (why would they discontinue a feature, knowing
    that it would mean lost data and a headache to their customers?)
    does anyone have an automated solution to importing these files into a new reader?

    My answer in the older thread is still valid
    Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
    Please open Terminal and issue the following command
    ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
    you should get a line similar to this
    drwxrwxrwx  13 yourusername  staff  hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
    Numbers, date and time may differ.
    If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
    chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

    thanks

    Where did you put them?
    These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you.  You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Report it to the police. Report it to your wireless service provider. Attempt to use BB Protect to wipe it clean. Outside of that, there is nothing to be done. If your personal issues prevent you from carrying this out, then you must consider all of your data on your BB to be compromised.
    Good luck!

    I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update.  Where are they and why did this happen?

    What update? There was nothing released yesterday relating to iCloud.
    Where have you lost your contacts from? Your computer, your phone, iCloud.com?
    If they are no longer in any of those places, you'll need to restore them from your most recent backup.
