I'm trying to restore lost data from unsaved notepad.exes after Windows 7 automatically restarts (dang Windows Update).
Browsing a couple of threads, it seems to be an impossible task. However, I have previously done hibernation just a few hours ago and there's a neat 2.89 GB memory dump at C:\hiberfil.sys
. I also have a 3.35 GB C:\pagefile.sys
.
How can I restore to this previous hibernation state?
Alternatively, is there a program that can view C:\hiberfil.sys
(e.g. viewing through the previous state as though it's a virtual machine)?
Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update\View update history
