• cannot start windows or restore/recovery

  When I start it, it gives the opportunity to "Startup Repair" or start windows normally.  When I choose "start windows normally", he gets in what concerns microsoft logo, then restarts.  When I choose "startup repair" he said first me "Startup Repair couldn't fix the problem" and I get two options listed. "Microsoft System Restore" and "sytem recovery" (which is opaque and not selectable) when I choose "System Restore" I am able to do as much as you select a restore point, and then it lists the "c:" drive and gives the warning yellow and says sign 'can only restore from a drive that contains Windows', I select 'c:', but the 'next' button is not selectable.  So, I have to go 'back' or 'Cancel', I was able to enter a command promt and look at the directory of the c: drive and only the 'SYSTEM' the d: cottage has all the files because it is a backup.

  Is it possible to boot windows ff drive d: via the command prompt?

• window mail contact restoration of system backup and restore files

  I backed up my system on a portable hard drive, he said, he would return to the top of my window vista email contacts and emails, but when I tried to restore themn he wasn't able to find it can help any one?

  Hello

  The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is the file of database of WinMail. You will not be able to backup and restore that easily. You should back up the registry keys and the entire message store and no not only the database file. The WindowsMail.MSMessageStore file is only the database and does not contain messages. The messages are in the same directory, but under the directories that correspond to message folders in WinMail. Old Windows Mail would be apt file to search for.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

  Messages may be stuck in the Outbox when you use Windows Mail on a computer that is running Windows Vista

  Hope the helps of information.

• Installation of Windows Mail after system recovery

  Hello. I need help to set up Windows Mail after a system recovery. I have Vista Home premium. My ISP is Comcast, so I have a Comcast email address. I did a full backup on an external HD before the resumption. I have not used Windows Mail since Jan. 27. Since then, I've been access my mail on the site Web of Comcast.

  I need to know the correct sequence of steps to set up Windows mail. Is it to drag the contents of the folder from my outside to my computer? Do I need to configure the info from the first acct (pop etc.) before you transfer the contents of the folder? I want all my old mail book and the address in the new configuration. These seem to be backed up on my external.

  Also once I'm set up should I expect to see all letters sent since Jan. 27? I don't mind what happens. I just want to know what to expect.

  Thanks in advance for your help

  First, set up your account in Windows Mail.   If you want messages that you see in Windows Mail to remain available in Comcast web messaging, configure the account to leave messages on the server. When you click send/receive , it will download all of the messages that are stored on your Comcast email server.

  To import your old messages in Windows Mail, press ALT + F , click on import > Messages > Microsoft Windows Mail 7 > Next , find the mail backup folder and follow the instructions.  The old post will go into a folder called folder imported , and you can move it to other records there if you wish.

  By default, Windows Mail saves its messages in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail.  AppData is a hidden, so turn on the display of the hidden files and folders first.

  To import your contacts, copy them to the contacts saved to the new folder.  By default, Windows Vista stores contacts in C:\Users\\Contacts.
