    This does not make sense to me :think:, when the scan started she said she was scanning ten drives yet she only has two hard drives, also one hard drive has 418 GB while the other has 24.9 GB so how did the scan recover 648 GB? :( :shocked:

    I think I need to run the scan again but this time only scan the two hard drives?!? :eek: :wall:

    It found a lot less files this time and was able to save it to my existing external drive.

    Erm.... I thought that you were just retrieving lost data(to an external drive), before running a Factory Reset.

    Now that I have retrieved some lost data what do I do next?

    Run Factory reset or refresh or use Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to retrieve any keys to be found on the system?

    If you find the keys for Office, you should take a note of the Edition and Product key, so that you can source and reinstall it.
    Same with other programs that you find.

    I installed it and run it. It states "Loaded 169 key locations. Detected 2".
