I don't know what I'm doing!!
Here's my problem: I was running Windows7 32-bit on my Toshiba laptop. I do a lot of Full HD video editing(I know, lesson in futility). My laptop was running kind of slow, so I decided that I'd back up all my files to an external hard drive. I did a full system backup(I've heard that that was my first mistake), which took 30 hours. When I went to reinstall Windows 7(using the on-board windows restore instead of my restore disc - probably second mistake), it gave me the choice of 32-bit and 64-bit, so naturally I chose 64-bit. Now I'd like to restore all of my files, but I can't figure out how?! I've tried to do a restore, and seems like something happened because I have less space on my hard drive now, but I can't find any of the files. What is going on?! Any help you or anyone else can provide would be greatly appreciated!!
