Cannot find the backup files
I'm trying to restore my pc to factory settings, but when I try, it can't seem to find my files back. I have the back of the files in my external hard drive and its connected to my computer, but it doesn't seem to be able to detect it.
Hello
You restore your system to factory with saved files (photos music, etc.).
Read this on a full backup of the computer to a date and time (different factory settings) and you have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise to do so.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-use-Vista-complete-PC-Backup/
If you have one of the Vista editions above and make a backup of the computer about him, here's how to restore a full backup of the computer:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/windows-vista-complete-pc-restore/.
You normally do a restore to the factory settings using the recovery disks provided when buying, or recovery discs that you made, or a recovery partition which was photographed on your hard drive during the manufacturing process.
You normally start the recovery partition recovery process by pressing F10, F11, etc at startup.
Ask the manufacturer for exact instructions.
If the above does not help, explain more in detail what you're trying to do.
See you soon.

I had to reinstall clean Windows 7 64-bit because of the failure of the RAID 1. I have a picture of my original installation system, but I can't restore it; everything I try, I get the message "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). I work through a number of possible solutions, without success so far.
According to the kb/951002 (that is for Vista but I can't find an alternative for Win 7) I made sure that the SYSTEM account has read permission for the backup folders and subfolders. However, the file structure of the specified in the above article backup folder is different from my image file structure. Specifically, article specified a structure of 'N.zip' file for the backup files but mine are a mixture of XML documents and VHD - i.e. no "zip" files Also, my GlobalCatalog file does not what kind of file, for example, it wouldn't ".wbcat" required file type specified in the article.
The differences above could explain the inability to restore the image and if so, any ideas on what to do about it?
Kind regards
Ian
Thanks Mick, will redirect the request.

Original title: Backup has encountered a problem
I just tried my regular backup process and I received the following message:
Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook file. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))
This is not the first time that I received - in the past, I have simply ignored.
I had "worried" and thought I should come to the 'experts' to get advice.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much

Original title: missing for InputPersonalization file
I used the Windows 7 backup utility for several years and recently it has begun to generate the following error:
Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\InputPersonalization file. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002)
I checked with Windows Explorer and confirmed that this file does not exist in this way. Instead, the file exists in the path under my local account.
How can I stop this error? In addition to a clean backup, I like to keep the overall system as clean as possible.

Windows 7 Professional 64 bitI'm NOT under a system dual boot, OR trying to save to an external drive.I get the following error message after you run backup.Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Audio Interviews Etc. error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))The Audio Interviews etc folder does NOT exist on my HD. I know because I deleted it.It would seem that the backup uses a master list to determine which files should be saved and where are these files.I ran regedit looking for some Audio Interviews and did not get a hit.I also ran sfc/scannow and without errors, etc. were found. "... Windows resource protection did not find any breach of integrity... »Where is this list and can remove Audio Interviews Etc. She?Create a folder called Audio Interviews etc in the folder systemprofile seems a kludgy way to deal with this issue.Suggestions/answers would be appreciated.TIA
Hello
I see that you have found an error after performing a backup. I'll help you with this problem.
As you already mentioned that you deleted the file, I would like to display hidden files and folders and check once more to confirm that the file is not present in the computer.
Make sure the show the hidden files and folders option is turned on. To do this, follow these steps:
Windows 7:
1. start Windows Explorer. To do this, click Start, type userinit.exe in the Search box and press ENTER.
2. click on organize, and then click folder and Search Options.
3. click on the view tab.
4. click on the next option to DISPLAY FILES AND FOLDERS HIDDEN - click Apply - OK.
We can also refer to this article and check if that helps.

Hey Amer,
You can ignore this error message. You would usually encounter this problem if the Windows Backup tries to back up files in folders LocalLow, Contacts and research and these files are not present on your computer.
Well, you also have an option to create or exclude files missing, listed in the error message.
If you want to exclude this folder then please refer to the following steps.
(a) in the backup section, click on "change settings".
(b) in the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.(c) in the 'you want to save ' dialog box, click on 'Let me choose ', then click on 'Next '.
(d) navigate to the user profile folder displayed in the error message and clear the check box next to the folders.
(e) save and exit.
Hope the helps of information.

Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:
The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\
\mstsc.exe.MUI Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.
I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.
I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.
The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.
I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.
For the record, here is some information on my system:
XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)
c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385
I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...
Thank you!
Argue for your limitations and of course they will belong. -Richard Bach, Illusions
I have a machine with the same problem
XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600
I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).
It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll
MSTSC.exe works now
