my computer crashed and restored using the system recovery disk. I saved all the files using a .fbw format. I can't read. What should I do?

My computer crashed while updating. It's a double 4 year old HP desktop processor. I could get into the repair screen, but nothing would be useful. I backed up data (115 GB) using the tools available on a drive hard usb. They are under the folder MINWIN and meet 31 different files. All I get is the demand to put in the disc. I copied the last file on DVD, but it will not read it. All other recovery programs say there is no backup file.

I have backup, with an extension of FBW 32 files

Hello

1. are you able to boot to the desktop now?

2 have you tried to reinstall the operating system?
3. what program did you use to create a backup?
4. do you get an error code or error message?

According toOberwald, it seems that fbw files are generated by HP, not Vista backup tool. I suggest you to read the following article to restore files from Microsoft.

If you are not able to boot to the desktop, then I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:
Start in safe mode and then try to run the restoration of the system to a point before you install the update and check if the problem persists.
Step 1: Start in SafeMode in Windows 7:

Step 2: System Restore:

Method 2:

If you used a third-party program, and then try to restore using the same program and check that it works.

Also check the FAQ from HP or post the question on a forum of HP.

Hope the information is useful.
