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.

  • System Restore (with backup) for Windows XP how to restore the files from here?

    I saw the other posts for this but they have not answered the question. When I look in the C drive, and open the folder backup (backup C:\My--01/12/23 1134 AM), my photos, videos and documents are not available or are invisisble. When I tried to make hidden files visible, all my desktop icons and all the Start Menu program buttons disappear. I can see the files when I search with a software such as jdiskreport - 1.4.0, but I'm unable to move with this program. When I tried to move them with jdisk... they is locked in the tree of files of jdiskreport. Whenever these trees of missing or file icons has locked, I had to restore to the good previous restore point. In my view, the full restoration of the system (with backup) fails and should be avoided at all costs.

    So, if someone knows a way to access these files, I would appreciate the help of course. And please, no answers don't like "cannot not you just copy and paste?" because it is not currently a solution until the files are visible without erasing my desktop and the Start Menu.

    Hello

    Select the advanced restore options to restore the files. See the steps in the following article.

    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.

  • 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.

  • How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

    How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

    Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

    There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

    Transfer files and settings from another PC

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

    1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
    2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
    3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
    4. Copy the data you want to transfer

    On the Vista Machine:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window,
    • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
    • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

    On the Machine Windows 8:

    • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
    • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
    • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

    Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

    You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

    There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

  • transfer of files from vista to windows 8.1

    I see I can't use Windows Easy Transfer.  I backed up everything on the external hard drive.  Y at - it sort of just download everything from the external hard drive (using "restore", for example?) without crushing everything in the same programs in windows 8.1?  Or do I have to copy everything whole again, one by one?

    Hello

    How to copy your data files from Vista to 8.1

    Vista machine:

    Open the Windows Explorer in Vista (or Documents, music, images, etc.) > have a connected external hard drive or USB key > go to the files you want to transfer > right click on the files you want to transfer > hover the mouse on "send to" > select the external hard drive.

    8 machine:

    Plug USB > open the file Explorer > copy files anywhere in the correct folders.

    _________________________________________________

    If it were a full Vista backup that you did, you can not get a particular file of this full backup.

    It should be mounted, which is complicated.
