I got a virus on my comp and restored to factory condition from compaq.
Compaq System Recovery. I had all my itunes mp3s, that I paid for, on that
setup. When the system restored to factory setting it seemed as if they
disapeered. They didn't there still there under my previous account's name,
But I cant access it. I did at least get into the "(previous)User Documents"
Folder with giving my new account permission. but all the subfolders and
files are also "not accessable, I do not have permission to view these
files", or have the ability to grant myself permission. It's grayed out. On
the previous "User Documents" folder security tab it has an entry (unknown
user {1111-111-1-1-111111-1111111-111111}) something like that. That must be
a key or something???? the 1's are varibles by the way, im not gonna post the
whole string here. I was thinking maybe if I could get that key into my
current user account maybe that would give me back my files??? I dont know im
at a lost here please help me!!
 
I don't understand your post but one think is for sure is
whenever you use your product recovery cd disc from
Compaq on your computer everything is wipe off it becomes
clean again , So any files that you did have before are
now gone for good ...
