Hello guys.

Here is my problem:
after a crashed update on windows 8.1. I got a temporary account and rebooted. Afterwards I got back to my normal account with mostly all personal data missing. (pictures, videos). No windows.old, no temp folder. nothing.
I tried almost everything but nothing worked since there was no ".bak"-entry in the registry. All hope was lost till I started Recuva and after a 6hour long partition-scan it shows every single file I once had. It says it is stored in "partition 3" without a letter.
Is there any way to get access to that 'hidden' partition in windows or do I have to start a recovery? The index.txt is a truecrypt container so don't wonder about a 50gb .txt =)

I really really appreciate your help since this is stuff from ofter 50 countries. Sorry for bothering.

Thank you,

Adrian

Welcome to the forum. Did you have encryption running on the PC in which case the partition could be encrypted. A screenshot from disk Management would help

Hi again, as I found out it seems my old profile from before the crash and the temporary profile is still somewhere.
I tried to check "my data" folder and I can not open it. (I am the only profile on my pc now) I rightclicked into it and it comes up with a path withou a partition letter. (see screenshot)
the size says its 170GB big. (almost the size of the data on my old profile)

Heres what I guess: Data is still somewhere but I can not see it since my new profile is identical with the old one.

I have some NTuser.dat.log files (see screenshot) I wonder if I can recover my old profile from them somehow.

Pleeease =/
