Recovered files - jumbled, unorganised - serious volume. Help!

Hi, this is my first reddit post so I hope i've got this right posting this here.

Many years ago when I was a lot smarter I had a windows laptop harddrive die on me. The only hard drive in the machine, of course. I had a desktop and when the laptop fellover i figured this shouldn't be TOO difficult to recover... and thus I managed to take it apart, buy a caddy and recover a shed load of data which i have on a hard drive.

I'm in the process of going fully cloud and trying to get rid of these hard drives. I've gone through with various bits of software to remove and group images and videos and really i'm left with a shit load of .txt and .doc files along with a few excel sheets which I am currently opening one by one to examine.

This is getting me no-where fast.

There are thousands of docs.

I'm that anal kind of person that does kind of want to explore everything here in case i missed something. I was a keen notepad user for jotting down notes and what not and i'm an annoyingly zealous filekeeper, so i will end up going through them one by one if it kills me: but i'd rather not.

Does anyone have any interesting suggestions or ideas as to how we might overcome this issue?

I know full well the majority of these docs are spurious! :(

I'm on a windows ten laptop and my nerd level is intermediate.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
