Hello:

The workstation has accidentally delete the index folder. I have try to
perform the following action but not successful. May I know does any
methods I can recovery it? The original index folder has change to D:\Index

1. The original healthy directory called "D:\index\Search\Data"
(Before delete)
2. Create a new directory under that called
"D:\index\Search\Data\Config"
3. In this new directory "D:\index\Search\Data\Config", I need two
files "gathrprm.txt" and "schema.txt"
4. Copy the "gathrprm.txt" file from the windows directory,
"C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_windowssearchengine_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_47e1b1bb326f0fb4\gathrprm.txt"

5. Copy the "schema.txt" file from the windows directory,
"C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_windowssearchengine_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_47e1b1bb326f0fb4\schema.txt"

6. Change the registry key HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows
Search/SetupCompletedSuccessfully=0
7. Reboot

But it also can't recovery the index service. May I know how I can fix it?

Thanks!
