Advice on Restoring System from Back-up
Hi All,
My wife's laptop crashed and will not boot. I tried all options from sys recovery/ repair disk to no avail. I tried to restore from back-up saved on E: partition but it won't work- I get an error message that the back-up resides on the disk, and windows needs to format the disk. I re-installed Win7 Pro (64x) from OEM disk and tried to replace with the back-up saved on E: partition, but received same error message. I have restored from seperate partition before.
What is the best way to restore from the back-up? Do I need to burn the back-up to disks and then run Win7 system restore utility? If so, is there a proper way to burn the back-up so it will be usable/ recognized by Win7 when running the restore utility? Any assistance is much appreciated
