Did the Dell utility back up the hidden files somewhere else? 2. So now my hard drive has been reformatted and restored from the EMERGENCY folder and the emails are gone.

In Windows Explorer under folder options I have 'show hidden files, folders and drives' checked. Now I have two folders under the USERS folder (the original one and the restored one) but neither of them have the hidden files. When I restored, I specified a different user name than what was originally there. I've gone into the EMERGENCY folder it created to verify that and I can't find them there. When the Dell utility backed up my data, it did not back up the hidden files either, although I specified 'back up everything'. Seagate's Dashboard does not include hidden files, which I did not know until this experience, so I don't have a backup of the emails on an external drive. I use Thunderbird for my e-mail client and, for some crazy reason, they store the emails in a hidden folder under the USERS main folder. I believe the only option it gave me was to back up my data and then do a reformat of the hard drive and restore.
Finally I resorted to the Dell restore disk.
I tried everything I could think of to get Windows to load and it would not.

I recently had a problem that I think was a bad sector on the hard drive of an Inspiron 580 running Windows 7 Home Premium.
