Or his girlfriend atleast. They had to do a system boot because of pile up of "limewire" viruses hit. All the main file and Applications were recovered but, not thier media. So, both of them have a combined IQ of 6, so, need some simple (And I mean simple) insturctions to get those files back.

Re: My friend needs help.
Just what do you mean by a "system boot"? How were the "main" files and applications recovered? What happened to the viruses? Have they been properly and completely removed? A lot of questions need to be answered before anything can be solved.Antec 900 case (4 120mm and 1 200mm lighted fans + UFO flashing light set + 2 12" and 1 6" Mutant Mods meteor lights) - Aerogate ll thermal controller - Asus M2N-e SLI - AMD 64 X2 AM2 6400+ - Corsair TX650 PSU - MSI 450GTS Cyclone OC - 2 X 2GB Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 RAM - SATA 320 GB Seagate HD, SATA 300GB Maxtor HD and IDE 80 GB Samsung HD - Floppy Drive/Card Reader Combo - LG SuperMulti Lightscribe 18x DVD RW - Plextor PX-716A DVD r/rw - Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Re: My friend needs help.
That's the way he described it. My guess is the computer crashed and dumped anything that wasn't an application. Either that or the virus eliminated all the media files on the computer. The virus, i have no idea, possibly windows dumped it along with everything else.

Re: My friend needs help.
umm.... Windows doesn't crash and randomly "dump" things. Even were this the case I just can't really see it deciding to just keep applications while "dumping" all viruses and media files. In this case I would recommend that your friend find a professional (or at least someone with some basic computer knowledge) to deal with whatever problem the system has.Antec 900 case (4 120mm and 1 200mm lighted fans + UFO flashing light set + 2 12" and 1 6" Mutant Mods meteor lights) - Aerogate ll thermal controller - Asus M2N-e SLI - AMD 64 X2 AM2 6400+ - Corsair TX650 PSU - MSI 450GTS Cyclone OC - 2 X 2GB Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 RAM - SATA 320 GB Seagate HD, SATA 300GB Maxtor HD and IDE 80 GB Samsung HD - Floppy Drive/Card Reader Combo - LG SuperMulti Lightscribe 18x DVD RW - Plextor PX-716A DVD r/rw - Windows 7 Home Premium 64
