What is the use of these?

what is the use of the hidden files such as system volume information,found.000,config.msi??

[Netjunkie]

"System volume information" is the folder where all the data related to "system restore" is stored.

"found.000" is created when you run disk checker & if it finds any cross linked files.

I dont know much about "config.msi", but it is created by "Msiexec.exe", the Windows Installer to perform any rollback operations and it holds some unistallation data i think.

Lets wait for the others to reply

don't play with system volume information,config.msi... files

U don't want to mess up ur system, right...

U can happily play with found.*** files. They are just backups of missing files recovered when u scandisk a hard disk after a sudden shutdown or so... files in any lost clusters...

So, if u have an idea of the files lost... you can rename the file found.*** to whatever file u suppose it to be & run them... like u miss a koolbluez.fla file and u suppose them to be it, just rename the found.000 to koolbluez.fla

Then run it.. if it works, u got ur file... else try on another.. a good factor for recognition will be the size of file... small files are not worth recovering.. but those larger... like those 200+kb or in mbs... could be some *.zip, *.exe, *.doc, *.jpg... files..

Happy recovering.....
