Restoring from file backup
Hi Folks,
My hdd just died. I have a full file backup of the main partition, and I'd like to try to use that to restore my comp to its state at that point. I do not have an image backup - just a full file backup using Retrospect (with Open File Backup).
Because I don't have a full disk image, I figure that I have to install windows 7 first in order to get the hidden partition installed. I'll do this with my Lenovo recovery discs. Then I plan on restoring all the files on the main partition.
Does this sound like a good plan? Will it work?
Thanks!
