Any bruising should be reported to your Doctor if you didn't know how it got there.

Rectification: usually I could go on Public area by several paths. In Ubuntu, it's transformed in a labyrinth, were finally I found my way  :grimdance: Photos are ok too.

Looks like everything can be there.
Just the stupid W8.1 which had an issue.

Ubuntu is quite OK, Aelin, it just requires a bit of patience to get started.
And it was a good idea to save your data on a different USB - should anything go wrong you wouldn't have to start all over again.

Are you recovering your files one by one or collectively (by extension, by folder or whatever)?

We are all keeping our fingers crossed for you :smile: Congratulations on your stubbornness! :thumb_up:

Thanks!
Tonight or tomorrow, I'll try to redo my path to use Ubuntu, to explain the few I understood. It will be in another topic.

Concerning files, I saw 3 photos outside of folders in the PUblic area - like I left them. I saw the 3 thumbnails correctly. For those it's ok, and I took them like that.
I took by files all I could in other areas.
But mainly, I took by folders (sometimes by folders in folders, to divide the work in several times for laptop and flash drives).

Question now: I know hard drive isn't pretty good. But do you think I can try a 'reinstallation' of the laptop as when leaving the factory, then just reinstall Daz and Poser? I doubt just "to do a fix" is enough.
I know I can't take the risk to save things onto now, but maybe I can with flash drives.
That could allow for a moment to don't use my W10 comp to do 3D. Just to go on the web, or make postwork.

Pictures and some written documents I kept for FRM are always complete. They come from a folder contening folders (and it was one of 2 first I took earlier).  :knightcheer2:

Hmmm, better wait until the last of your files is safely copied onto an USB or an external disk - first things first, right?

Then to carry on a reinstallation you will need two things: a healthy hard drive and a source for the system that you want to reinstall, be it an installation DVD or an image borrowed from the identical (hardwarewise) laptop you told me about.

- Healthy hard disk: it is possible (though not very likely) that the catastrophe happened for other causes than a hard disk failure (maybe a software problem that erased a few key-sectors, who knows?). Thus before reinstalling on the same disk you should first run a thorough hard disk test - there are several free programs to do that. If the disk passes the test OK, else you'll need a new one (1 TB -> ~€60) and some screwdriver work (not really much *).

- System source: a 'system recovery' would require anyway a Win8.1 installation DVD. If (or when :winks:) you have one, you must decide if you want to try a system recovery or to go for a clean installation from scratch, disk formatting included. Personally I would opt for the latter, but it's a matter of taste.

*) If you find a safe way to send me your laptop I'd be happy to volunteer the screwdriver work and maybe also the hard disk - I might have a spare one somewhere :smile:

Sorry your laptop went bad Aelin  :ghost: . Glad you found a solution to recover files - and I'll cross my fingers it wasn't a hardware problem and you will be able to reinstall !!! :knightcheer2:

I agree...gather up all you can including program downloads and save them on the MemSticks or External. 

I keep a copy of programs that I download on One Drive also.  Makes for a good backup.   

Then start your tinkering.....

I don't want to touch the hard disk for the moment, like I'm not 100% sure I took everything. I must think on that, don't worry.

I saved DS, Poser, PD Artists... not installed (and for a part installed in programs with add-ons or runtimes) on the external. And several USB.

On another topic, this of W10 maybe.
I made change in Firefox to don't allow it to keep my passwords. THat's ok.

But weirdly when I enter my IDS, or comments on the gallery, computer remember what I wrote before :panic: An idea to stop that? I'm not able to find.
