Windows Vista. I can't restore data from backup after reinstalling windows.

Regularly, I backed up my Dell laptop Vista hard disk independent. I just had to reinstall windows and now when I go to restore my data, I get a message saying the backup location is not available. I ran a backup on the same drive as before, but the problem remains. Even backup always lists all the backups I made before resettlement. How can I restore my data?

Here's an article from someone who was essentially the same problem as you and finally resolved itself do the restore again (although some other suggestions can help more in your situation). http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/f9d74b19-5eec-4453-a3b4-ff11940ec83a.

Frankly, at this point, I'm puzzled.   I don't know what else to try.  Maybe someone with more knowledge (a support technician or MVP) will read and respond to this topic.  I suggest you try this announcement in the Technet forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/threads.  They are a little more technically oriented than here and may be able to find a solution to your problem.

Good luck and I hope you get your problem resolved and can recover your lost .pst files. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • How can I restore passwords from backup in the computer?

    Recently I have backup my computer factory quite a reset. When I restored it all he did not return the registered mozilla bookmarks or passwords. I was able to find and restore bookmarks but have not been able to restore passwords. I am looking for a solution to find and store, copy or print the list of passwords in the backup copy.

    Thank you

    You can only access the passwords stored in signons.sqlite if you have the correct signons3.txt file that stores the encryption key to decrypt the names and passwords.
    If copy the two files in the current Firefox profile folder does not work then you will have a file signons3.txt evil.

    Make sure that you have copied both files to the correct location with Firefox closed.

  • HP TouchSmart 4-1223tu Ul ENVY: restore data from backup

    Dear all,

    yesterday I was accidentally reset my laptop at the base. because I accidentally push the F11 key.

    and I just klik next and next and next. When the recovery menu came, I choose recovery for this portable partition recovery (without flashdisk or external hard drive).

    Please help me.

    Thank you

    @vaniarahma,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  After what you've done, you'll need to order the HP support recovery media.  Regarding your data, it is gone as soon as you start the process.  You want to keep all the data should be stored on an external drive.

    Here is the link so that you reach your recovery media for your system.

  • How can I get data from each associated XMLnode in movieclips separated when you click a line in the combobox

    How can I get data from each associated XMLnode in movieclips separated when you click a line in the combobox?

    A sample of XML is like this:

    <>planter

    < Lauvtre >

    < Botanisk_navn > Acer campestre < / Botanisk_navn >

    < Norsk_navn > Naverlonn < / Norsk_navn >

    Gronn < Farge > < / fan >

    H4 < Herdighet > < / Herdighet >

    < Hoyde > 10-15 m < / Hoyde >

    < / Lauvtre >

    I have a combobox where it shows the botanical name and the Norwegian name. But the rest of the info in movieclips seem separate.

    Someone has an idea how to do this? Can I use the trace function maybe? Here is my AS3 code so far:

    var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

    list.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

    function itemChange(e:Event):void

    {

    your. Text = list.selectedItem.data;

    TB. Text = list.selectedItem.label;

    }

    var xml;

    function onLoaded(e:Event):void

    {

    XML = new XML (e.target.data);

    var it: XMLList = xml. Planter.Lauvtre;

    for (var i: uint = 0; i < il.length (); i ++)

    {

    list.addItem ({data: it.}) Farge.Text ([i]) + "\n"+ it.» Herdighet.Text ([i]) + "\n" + it. Hoyde.text ([i]),

    label: it. Botanisk_navn. Text() [i] + "\n"+ it.» Norsk_navn. Text() [i]});

    }

    }

    Loader.Load (new URLRequest ("lauvtre.xml"));

    Thank you!

    Rheus.

    I don't know what you're trying to do.  but, if you want to fill one combobox with the botanical names and when one is chosen, the other use of logins:

    var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

    list.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, itemChange);

    function itemChange(e:Event):void {}

    var selectedObj:Object = a [list.selectedIndex]

    trace (selectedObj ['fan'], selectedObj ['Botanisk'], etc);

    }

    var xml;

    var a: Array = [];

    function onLoaded(e:Event):void {}

    XML = new XML (e.target.data);

    var it: XMLList = xml. Lauvtre;

    for (var i: uint = 0; i

    list.addItem({label:il[i].child('Botanisk_navn').toString()});)

    a [i] = {'Fan': it [i].child('Farge').toString (), 'Herdighet': it [i].child('Herdighet').toString (), "Hoyde": he [i].child('Hoyde').toString (), 'Botanisk':il[i].child('Botanisk_navn').toString(),'Norsk_navn':il[i].child('Norsk_navn').toString()};}

    }

    }

  • File to restore data without backup - how it works?

    Hello

    I have a 10.2 database runs on Linux without a recovery catalog archivelog mode.
    I created backup current controlfile.
    Then, I created tablespace 'data' and a table with a few lines inside.
    Then I deleted all the controlfiles and the data file from the tablespace 'data '.
    I did the restore and recovery:
    RMAN > restore controlfile from autobackupp
    RMAN > restore data from the tablespace.
    creating data fno = 6 name file = /...
    restore not made; all files readonly, offline, or already restored

    RMAN > restore database;
    (...)

    It's good, but I wonder how it works: I've restored a backup controlfile and does not know this controlfile tablespace 'data '. I have no current controlfiles (they were all lost), so there is no RMAN Repository.
    Can someone explain this to me?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sousou

    Sousou,

    There is a complete recovery (which means your controlfile is up-to-date, and you get so far) and incomplete recovery.

    If you do not issue
    until the logseq | Yvert | date
    Before you restore and recover
    RMAN will review the latest situation.
    In this situation, there is no data of tablespace, RMAN is unnecessary restore this tablespace.
    Restore the controlfile doesn't help here, such as structural changes in the database result in an automatic backup of the controlfile.
    You restore the most recent backup, so in this automatic backup tablespace has also disappeared.

  • How can I restore previous e-mails after re-installation of Windows Vista and using Windows Mail?

    How can I get previous emails after reinstalling windows, use windows mail. I have windows vista. I used the mail for windows for years. my computer just crashed and I had to install new to include windows-based messages. now, I've lost all the previous insalliation e-mail. can I get it back?

    original title: previous emails

    If you reinstalled Vista without saving your messages, they are gone, unless you have kept a copy of messages on the server. If it is a POP3 account, you must have done this choice. If it is an IMAP account, messages must be on the server.

  • Restore data from a CD after format hard drive. Backup and Restore Center.

    I had a virus problem in my system.  I was asked to back up the data before they formatted my hard drive.  I used the backup and restore - 33 CDs Center.  After picking up my computer (they have reinstalled the operating system - Vista), I was unable to restore my data.  When I try to restore it, I get this message "there are no backups available on this computer.

    Hi happythinker321,

    1. How did you create the backup?

    You will need to use the advanced restore feature and check if it works.

    1. open the Center to backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click backup and Restore Center.

    2. click on Advanced Restore Options. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. click on files from a backup made on a different computerand then follow the steps.
