Post subject: Lost Desktop Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>file_management (more info?)
I am computer illiterate! I moved from Ga to Nc and my computer was working
finr (desktop computer) Long story short, I had an Acer (1 1/2 yrs old) I
could not get my monitor to show my desktop so I had someone work on it. He
said I blew the "motherboard?" Anyway, purchased a new computer and had this
same person transfer my documents and all saved data to this new one.
However, I can't find my documents saved to the original desktop. Do they
transfer? If so, I can I find them?

1. Call the person who did the work and ask them exactly where they put the
backed up data.
2. Consider taking the computer to a different person, a professional
computer repair shop (not a BigStoreUSA/GeekSquad type of place) and having
them sort it out for you. I'm rather suspicious of the "blew out your
motherboard" advice.

Thanks. I do appreicate this advise. Blew the motherboard, I questioned
myself. Fortunately I have the original desktop computer and monitor because
I was a little "suspect."
