Restore the data to backup the Windows XP system files

I have a backup of the Windows XP system to an external drive.  I need to restore my data from this external hard drive files only.  I don't have an XP machine.  Ideally, I would like to restore my data files on a Windows 7 computer and save them to the external drive. Is this possible?  If so, simple step by step instructions can be provided.  Thank you.

Hi Denise_898,

1. How were you running the backup of files on Windows XP?

2. what program did you use to backup files in Windows XP?

If you use the ntbackup utility available in Windows XP, you use NT Backup Restore Utility for Windows 7.

    I went to one of my FCPX library and deleted some files. Also, I took all my FCPX libraries and place them in a folder. Something tells me that it is a 'no-no' because after my FCPX started acting weird. Then when you restart my FCPX he stuck to "restore the window layout" and a gray screen. I found the support page for this particular problem, but I can't find 'library' in my menu 'go '. Can someone help me?

  • Dell has developed a passwoord and cannot access the Windows XP system on a network share in Windows 7.

    Original title: network router, XP computer and Windows 7 laptop computer dilemma.

    My system XP computer is part of a network using a router. I also have a laptop Windows 7, using the same network. Reference Dell set up a password so that the network is not accessible without password, reducing the risk of piracy. Now, I can not in the XP system because of the defined password.  How to reset or enter the password on the XP computer?

    Hi Scottid2,

    1. do you receive error messages when you access the Windows XP system?

    2. What is the password being set by Dell?

    You can check in the Windows 7 system if the password protected sharing is enabled. When protected by password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer.

    You can turn off password protected sharing and check if it helps.

    For more information, see the articles:

    Why can't I connect to other computers?

    Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

    As the password is set by Dell, you can also consult with support of Dell for the same thing:

  • Can not turn on my computer... "the windows logon system process unexpectedly... system shutdown.

    When I turn on my computer, a blue screen appears and it says: 'the windows logon system process done unexpectedly...... closed system '. "what this means?

    I forgot to answer one question:

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    The most likely problem is that this file is missing:

    c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe

    It might have been put in quarantine (actually deleted) by your antimalware/antivirus program, if you need to replace it.  There are other copies of the file on your system, which you can use to replace the missing file.

    You have to boot your system on something to do that, so if you have no real XP bootable installation CD, make a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

    Sometimes there is a problem to get into XP with XP Home Recovery Console, but work on this first, then we will see the replacement of the file:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    When own running chkdsk/r, we can replace the file.

  • Windows 7 continues to write thousands of jpg files on c:\windows\serviceprofiles\networkservice\appdata\local\microsoft\media player\art cache\localmls subdirectory in the form of system files.

    Let me describe what is happening. I used the 'get info' in iTunes to add various jpg work at the individual level of CD (i.e. selecting song at the same time) multiple.  ITunes displays the work very well and works very well. Over a period of time, I noticed deterioration in system performance and when I tried to create a disc using CMS Bounceback Ultimate image has noticed that the number of files on my hard drive had increased from 250,000 to about 1 000 000. After much research and a bit of luck, I determined that Windows 7 has written these JPGs repeatedly in the subdirectory cache\localmls of c:\windows\serviceprofiles\networkservice\appdata\local\microsoft\media player\art. These are the same files jpg, I added in iTunes. When I discovered, there are about 700,000 of these small files in this subdirectory in the form of system files which are hidden files. I was able to remove these files first reset file attributes (attrib s h - r *.jpg) and using the del command. Unfortunately, the system continues to write the same files in the same sub and a few hours, I have thousands of these files written again. I checked the system for virus/malware using the latest versions of sophos, malwarebytes, and spy hunter. There is no malware reported by one of these programs.  I also stopped Sophos and tried again but the problem persists. I have also rebuilt iTunes library by following the steps described by Apple, but this does not solve the problem. Any suggestions I can try next?

    If not, perhaps, you create a batch file to run at startup or schedule tasks to remove *.jpg files that appear in this folder?

    An approximate example of a batch file would be in this sense. It would be created in Notepad but recorded in a .bat file.

    C:
    CD "windows\serviceprofiles\networkservice\appdata\local\microsoft\media player\art cache\localmls".
    DEL *.jpg

    pause

    This is only a rough guide and may need a lot of amendments by you that I'm not familiar with batch files, but it shouldn't be too hard to do.  The batch by operating manually or in scheduled tasks file would need administrative privileges or the localmls access permissions set properly for the user.
