After re - install Win XP, unable to restore backup files

I used the utility to backup under Win XP Pro, Accessories System tools to backup my C drive on a hard drive portable.

A virus destroyed my boot Win XP system.  A store of the local computer could not fix my computer, therefore, he re-installed Win XP Pro.  In the newly installed Win XP Pro system, I tried to restore the backup files, but failed.  I received message: "the backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.

Please suggest what I'd like all my children pictures/videos and last year 10 tax records are in the backup file.  Thank you.

Hi all

I found the solution to my problem - cannot restore Windows XP backup file (BKF) files.

Site Web Sysinfo Tools offer tools to repair/restore BKF utility.  In my case, I got the program of BKF recover V2.0.  Program works on all versions of Windows (up to Windows 7).

BKF recovery program reads Windows XP generated backup file, repair and then restore the files, very fast and efficient.

  • Cannot restore backup files

    I do weekly backups of my laptop (running Vista Home Premium being) by using the backup utility Windows & restoration that is installed.  I can see the last backup on the external drive, I'm using (IOMEGA 500 GB) using "Explores all", but when I try to restore using the restore function, no files are displayed in the menu "select files".  I am logged on as administrator, and the road is shared with all users.  Any ideas?

  • Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

    I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

    Hi Allisonerik,

    (1) what happens when you try to restore?

    (2) you get an error message?

    (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

    I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

    Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  • Restore backup file

    Steve

    Hello

    ·         You are able to access other network drives?

    ·         What is the exact error?

    ·         Where have you backed up the files in (external hard disks, etc.)?

    I suggest you to give permissions for files and folders that you have backed up and check if you are able to access the files and then restore on network drives or not. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

  • How to restore backup files from Vista 32 to Win 8 64 bit?

    I just upgraded from Vista 32 bit to Win 8 64 bit.  Vista backup is all what I have.  Is there a 64 32-bit backup restore utility?
    Any other ideas other than reinstall Vista somewhere and do a restore and then easily transfer?

    Thank you Andre,

    Since then, I understood, after installation of Vista in a VM and had the same problem, my backup has been corrupted somehow.  Fortunately I remembered a message during the installation, all the old system files would be copied to a folder C:\windows.old.  This is the process for a clean install.  Problem solved.

  • Rescue and recovery will not restore backup files it finds when starting

    I recently had a system problem on my Lenovo computer and had to recreate the image. When I try to restore my backup using rescue and recovery (R & R), they prove inaccessible. How to access these backups?

    Details of the options selected in R & R are attached, as an image on the screen of the settings dialog box.

    Running R & R, backups (on an external HDD USB) are visible and can be selected as expected. When the computer restarts in the space of restoration work, after a warning do not turn off the power, you get the error message "the restore has failed because the backup was not found at the specified location. Accept that the computer restarts in Windows. In this case regardless of the options selected at the start of R & R.  Where appropriate I select the USB external storage device in the Setup program and select a backup of those listed.

    I also tried updating all Lenovo utilities, including R & R. The option 'get new updates"errors when downloading the package information Lenovo Service Center (1 on 1) at the helm of the 30% with the error" Exception should not met!

    A lot of ongoing issues.  Many Lenovo post deal with each issue. Intel, system update, create a recovery to the USB media.

    For now, I'll address your problems of rescue and recovery. It seems that your system worked well, until a database had records in doubles in it, and you want to use RI to restore a backup on your USB.

    Then you have attempted a return to the factory, which show a lot of questions.

    If I understand your request, you want to restore your system to some time in the past, using a backup RNR. Either last week or 2 months ago. Something that works.

    ===

    RNR will save all partitions on the disk C DD.  It never saves another HARD disk.  2 readers warning has been around for a while. If C and D are on the C drive, HARD drive, it will run through RNR.

    Single file restore only runs on the windows RNR.  But there is no need to restart standalone RNR (pf11 during startup).

    It is ok. At least the RNR version on windows can find and restore your USB /rrbackups, of 5 min or 30 hours. This works.

    ==

    Factory restore installs a RNR version right here. This version probably does not match the version on your USB. If you started the RNR factory with the USB version version, you might expect not found messages.

    ===

    On your system windows today, please state the version installed.  Start using pf11 and indicate the version installed.

    You cannot create recovery media and rescue on the same device. Your luck if anything boots on the USB (other positions).

    Essentially, the RNR standaone version must match the /rrbackups on USB.

    =

    How do restore you to the factory settings? pf11 through the work of rnr or external cd/dvd?

    You are the original owner of the machine?

  • BlackBerry Z10 Bb10 not work and how to restore backup files

    Hi all
    My z10 keeps restarting itself up to a point where only the name of blackberry appears and nothing more. Fortunately enough I had a recent upward from my phone. However I tried to reinstall the software, it does not, changed the battery still does not not so I decided to upgrade to the iPhone. I tried on how to retrieve my files to my iPhone now, but I couldn't. No idea please. I need help.

    Unless your files are stored on your media card, it will be difficult. If you can get your BlackBerry to turn on, you can visit www.deviceswitch.com to each phone's browser to transfer files. If you can't find your phone to turn on, you'd be out of luck.

    See you soon.
