restore the files backed up on windows 7 created from windows xp

I want to restore my backup files that I created from windows xp using windows backup utility to windows 7.

I tried to use the backup and Restore Center, but it can not recognize the backup files.

What should I do?

FYI, I'm using windows xp in my office and windows 7 in my house and all the days after that I worked in my office within the working time, I transfer these files from my desktop pc to my home to continue my work pc.

Thank you

    Hey there BigWhit :)

    I'd follow Ankit suggestions because I think that it would be useful.
    I would also check the condition of the car, because it can cause problems if there are problems with it. I connect to a working PC and run the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool. If the drive passes extended tests it should be made safe to use and fast.

    Post back with some results :)

    See you soon!

  • Backup restore my files back after I reinstall my windows?

    Hello. I'm confused about backup. So - I backup my files, after that I will reinstall my windows. This backup will restore my files back?

    Two points:

    1. make sure backup you on external media, not inside your hard
    drive. If you put the backup on your hard drive, reinstalling Windows
    will be their undoing. You can use CDs, DVD, thumb drives, or a
    External hard drive.

    2. you can use the Windows backup program to perform the backup, then
    use the same program to restore the backup files. Or you can use a
    third-party backup program; Again, use the same program to restore. If
    you do not have a lot of backup, you can even just copy the files to
    something like a USB drive or burn the CD or DVD, and then copy
    their return.

  • 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.

    What version of Windows you want to transfer is irrelevant. What
    you need to do is just transfer to another computer.

    There are several approaches to do this. What is the best for you
    based primarily on the amount of data you transfer. Here are a few
    choice:

    1. transfer on diskettes.
    2. transfer to CDR or DVD.
    3. by email from the old machine, and read e-mail on the new
    one.
    4. the two computers on the network and simply copy the files on the
    network.
    5. temporarily (or permanently) install the old computer's hard
    drive in the new computer and just copy the top.
    6. use a USB

    I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I'm probably not explaining my problem fairly - well, I scanned something in - I used Nuance Paperport.  I have it attached to an email and sent to six people - including myself.  I always open the attached file to make sure that the computer has sent the right thing.  When I tried to open the attachment I got the message "cannot open the file - I have already sent you."  I think that Norton Security got rid of the file I need.  I think I will contact them.  I tried to contact Nuance - but alas, my warranty has expired, so no help there unless I want to pay for it.  If I can't have the problem solved through Norton, I will contact you again.  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  Have a great Thanksgiving action!

    ================================================
    Your explanation was nice... that was my answer that failed.

    I was hoping that you would simply copy the scan of your temporary
    Internet files folder and paste it on your desktop. Then you might
    evaluate what is the problem. I thought that trying to open
    with such a long way email could be a problem. And also... it's possible
    be a file association problem. And it could be a matter of file size.

    I understand that you care why the attachment to the email
    failure and I think you need to find what is the problem with the scan
    before fastening will be successful.
