I ran system recovery and now I cannot get into C:&#92;documents and settings&#92;owner.  How do I get into it?

Sometimes system restore is more of a pain than it is worth. There are several ways, but the easiest is to do a search for the document or program you want. If that does not work, I would do another restore to another time. Another way is to go to mycomputer and click on the drive and search through to the folder you want.\n Hope that helps.

I'm surprised the company you bought the PC from didn't a include a recovery CD.  But as soon as put PC on is there is an option to do a system recovery?

tryto reboot the system, if that dont work go to start then programs and select system restore and set it to an earlier date, that may fix the problem just go back to a point where u know it was working ok, DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM RECOVERY these are two diferent things, if you use the recovery u will have to relaod everything u had manually

sounds like the permissions are screwed.\n\nopen 'my computer', rightclick the drive and choose properties. Go to the security tab. click 'add' and add your account name. Give yourself 'full control' in the checkbox below and click apply. Then click advanced and check the 'replace permissions on all' etc. and click apply.\n\nYou should now be able to access your files.\n\nIf it still doesn't work you will have to take ownership: go to that advanced screen again, go to tab 'owner' and select your account and check 'replace owner on all etc', click apply again.

See if you can find a Recovery CD or the Actual Operating System CD. Use which ever one you have. \n\nIf you don't have the CD's then I guess you could use Windows System Restore.

When you first got this desktop was it locked with that or did you install the option for that? If you installed it then i'm going to assume it's the one that is in the control panel in windows XP. If this is all the case then to log on you need your correct username and password and you will have to enter them rather than useing windows xp (remembering) system. If you know your password then try useing the "Administrator" username try uppercase Administrators" and lowercase "administrator" if that doesn't work try "admin" and "Admin" if you don't know your password then(assuming you have windows xp) try doing a system restore on your computer by pressing F8 when your system starts, keep pressing F8 till a menu appears then "System Restore" should be somewhere on that list.  Hope i'm somewhere on the right track here.

Restore to last known working configuration === turn on computer and start tapping the F8 key. You will get a prompt. Select this option.\n\nIf that dont work, do the same thing, but go into safe mode as administrator. From there, its a whole new troubleshooting process. Disable all your startups in MSCONFIG and try again.

Dont mess with registry base again. Try back your PC state via Sistem Restore. If that dont help, then take your HD to friend, beckup your important data and reinstall Windows.

I assume you are using windows. If you have the recovery disc, pop it in and reload windows. Sounds like some vital file is missing and this will reload it.

You can use undelete utility to recover files in c:&#92;documents and settings&#92;<user name>&#92;Local Settings&#92;History\n\nOnly if you haven't used the drive much since you earased the history files.
