Need help how to recover my external HDD

I just got my new MacBook pro 13. Yesterday
I was trying to instill windows 7
I opened bootcamp
It's asked my to connect USB external device
I have connected my external HDD it's 80 GB Toshiba External HDD full with 70 GB of data with NTFS windows format
I thought it will store the windows 7 in the External HDD
I put a DVD also
I though it will take the windows 7 from the external HDD to the DVD
But inrealized it was erasing and formatting my external HDD
So I interrupt the operation and disconnecting my external HDD from MacBook pro
When I connect it again I found some folders of windows 7 and I didn't find my files
How to solve this problem please help me it's 70 GB data size

Sorry to hear of your problem.
Also sorry to tell you your data is more then likely gone.
Hopefully that external was just a Backup for data that exists on other storage devices, like on one of your computers. If not it is gone.
Never have I heard of Boot Camp asking for any one to connect an External drive. In fact Windows can not be installed on an external drive. So I have no idea why BC would ask you connect one. Maybe for the Windows Support files that are downloaded from the Apple server at the start of the Boot Camp Assistant. But then they can be saved to the internal HDD.

Need help with pictures on an external HDD and windows labtop to Ipad3

Hallo everybody!
This week (I finally) bought an Ipad 3 and an Apple TV!
For the time being I still have a windows labtop and an external HDD full with photo's.
The ICloud software for windows has been installed because I would like to stream the pictures from this external HDD to my Ipad and then ofcourse on my flatscreen TV (via Apple TV). And ofcourse back, when I have taken a photo or a movie on the Ipad 3.
I would appreciate some help with the following questions:
do I have add all pictures from the HDD into a new map on the windows labtop. So that via Icloud the contain could become 'in the cloud'.
or do I have to add all the pictures from the HDD into the Itunes map on the windows labtop.
I have connected the Ipad to the windows labtop and via Itunes I have synchroniced a lot of pictures to the Ipad. I asume these are copies? And is it possible to remove them from the Ipad, because it will take a lot of memory (currently already 35 GB from the 64 GB).
Well I hope somebody could help me.
Many thanks in advance!
Ronald from the Netherland

I just found out that ICloud isen't really a storage place for photo's. Just a passing throw station to your other devices.

Need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden

hi
I would like to ask whether does Microsoft have a solution on this issue
need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden. and there will be a Recycler hidden folder, inside is a randomName.exe file(with a lady image as the program icon). Once the user click on the
shortcut of the folders, it will activate the .exe file and install onto Windows and with any pendrive, external harddisk plug to the infected machine all will be affected when plug to a clean machine and the cycle repeat itself.. by infect other
clean machine.
Please help as this is affecting my company of 400+ users! on window 7 pro x86 and x64
the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..
thus is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?

This is just because of infection is propagated.. As a result files are hidden.. attrib is great as it is suggested by S Guna . May be you can make a batch file or something like that? But there is a chance of reinfection if you don't clean your infected
systems as well as your pendrives..
Plug your infected flash drive and
Use one scanner at a time
Download hitman pro 3.7 (shareware and can be activated for 30 days free)and have a full system scan including your pendrive.. http://www.surfright.nl/en
And/or
use malwarebyte have a full system including your pendrivescan http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/
And/or
Use Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool downloaded from uninfected pc and transfer to you pc and install and have a full system scan
http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1
If everything fails, you can use offline bootable resccue cd and do a full system scan...
https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-defender-offline-faq
or hitman kickstart bootable pendrive
http://www.surfright.nl/en/kickstart
Then
(1)Check whether your files are hidden.. Most of the time files and folders are hidden as a result of pen drive malware infection..
It will change the attributes of the files/folders.
In that case u can use attrib command and
attrib -s -h -a -r
This is how it is used.. attrib method is common for windows

(2)If data is deleted you can try recuva.. freeware to recover data.

If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
That particular page should resemble the following:
The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.

Hi,
a Windows Domain Controller does not have any local user or groups. So you might add the user to the admin group at Domain level.

All my Albums in PSE 10 have disappeared. Need help asap to recover.

All my Albums in PSE 10 have disappeared. Need help asap to recover.
I have over 50 Albums and over 20K photos.
I did nothing wrong that I am aware of.
I believe Adobe intentionally sabotages older versions to force you to purchase the new version.
This has happened now 4 times in a row. To hide what they are doing they change the problems.
When I purchase the new version the problem miracleously disappears.

Hi,
Please ensure that correct catalog is open. Can you please show me a screenshot of your Elements Organizer 10 catalog?
To confirm if albums are actually gone or is in some odd view, you may check at one more place - click Find > By Details (Metadata) > choose "Album" and see if your albums get populated in the adjoining dropdown in this dialog?
Thanks

How to partition an external HDD to NTFS and Fat32

Hi guys,
I wonder if you can help me.... I'm trying to partition my WD external HDD into two. I want the first partition to be formatted as NTFS as I will be using this part with only windows. The second half I need to be able to use it on both mac and windows and therefore would prefer FAT 32. I have already partitioned the drive into two and formatted the first half to NTFS. The problem occurs when I try to use disk utility to format the free space on the drive to FAT 32. Can you help me?

thats well and fine, but you do realize that :
A: HD are cheap as dirt
B: putting all your data into a single external HD is a nasty choke point for awful data loss?
ergo, not a hot idea in general.
Mac's on OS X can't format or write to NTFS formatted drives, they can read from it though.
Your best option is to format the external drive on the Windows machine using exFAT as it will do it correctly, the Mac has issues formatting exFAT for Windows.
Once the drive is formatted exFAT on Windows, it will work like a charm between both platforms and can use +4GB sized files, which FAT32 (MSDOS) cannot.
