Recovering Files From ProgramData Via Windows.Old

[omarback]

Is there a way to find/recover database files from a folder in the ProgramData directory in Windows.old?

My PC had to be wiped and I'm in desperate need of some files that were installed in programdata on my old install of Windows.

I see the Windows.old directory but cannot find anything related to programdata there.

Thanks!!

Open up an elevated command prompt by pressing WinKey+X and selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)". Enter the following sequence of commands:

cd\
cd Windows.old
Attrib –h –s –r ProgramData

This should reveal the ProgramData folder.
