Recover CSC Offline Files

[Lisa_F]

I have been unable to synch to the network drive for a while now but have been working in offline mode.

My support team attempted to remedy the situation and get me synched up again and had me uncheck and then recheck "Make Available Offiline" and then had me synch which was successful.

The problem is that I lost all the files that I had when I was working offline.

Is there anyway to recover this data?

Hi Lisa_F, You need to download version 1.1 of CSCCMD.EXE!
You can download it from here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884739 .


Use a working computer with the same version and service pack level of Windows XP.
after installing please follow the steps given below

1. Copy the %SYSTEMROOT%\CSC directory contents from the old hard drive to the same location on the working computer.
   
2. On the working machine, open a command prompt.
   
3. Type csccmd /enable
   
4. Create a target directory, for example C:\Restore
   
5. Type csccmd /extract /target:C:\Restore /recurse

Your files will be extracted from their compresses offline files format back to their original format!
