I've kept my photos in protected folder with free trial version. I've reinstalled windows on my PC and lost connection with my folder. I made a copy of protected folder on ext.hard drive but there is only label now and nothing inside. Could you find my folder because it is my collection of photos for few years? It is very important for me, help me, please!...

Have you reformatted (reinstalled your system) and are unable to access your external HD now at all?

Or is it that your pictures were on the disc that was reformatted... if so they are toast... sorry to be the bearer of bad news (if this is the case)

 

 

Please slow down and stop the panic.

 

Sincerely,

Hi Olga

Could you please give us a screenshot of what it says when you try to open the protected folder. Were your pictures stored there?

Did you try opening the protected folder with the password?

Do you have a gmail account where you have placed your pictures too?

No one here certainly do not have any of your files unless you have sent them to someone here.

Yes, all photos were in Protected Folder. I had free trial version .

I've dragged Protected Folder from PC to ext.HD...мay be I have made it incorrectly?..

Than I've reinstalled Windows but I didn't install the programm for Protected Folder.

So, now I have only label of Protected Folder on my HD (there's no my protective folder, only the shortcut ) When I click on shortcut now I can see:

"Error in the work with the label. The object ' chrome.exe ' to which this label refers, is changed or moved, and the label any more does not work"

Unfortunately I have not a gmail account where I have placed my pictures...

I installed the new protected folder program and copied a label from HD on the computer.... the label still doesn't open, and the new folder opens, but it empty.....

what you think, it is possible to recover my photos from a hard drive of the computer?....

Please kindly note that Protected Folder can not help you save files. When you protect some files in Protected Folder, those files can be locked or hidden, but they are still at its original places. So if you reinstall your computer, your files will be lost.

 

If you want to save files, please directly copy those files, not Protected Folder.

 

Thanks in advance.

hi Olga

If the reinstall of your OS formatted the computer before installing the new OS, everything you had on that harddisk is gone with no possibility to retrieve it, I think.

You should always remember to back up your important documents and pictures and other files and folders you do not want to loose before you format a drive. Actually it is safest to do it periodically for example once every month and then safest if you do it to another media like an external harddisk a usb-stick or a number of CD's.
