How to use Windows.Old ?
I just got a new win 7 installed over a Lenovo C partition. I did back up this PC's documents and bookmarks. The owner, or lenovo has 30 gigs of stuff in his Windows.old file. ( Windows installer created this because it found an existing copy of windows on the system) I did not want to wipe the whole system because I wanted to leave the recovery partition intact in case I could get it working again. My main problem was getting windows to boot in normal mode.. from there.. if I reinstall lenovo's One Key Recovery app, it should be able to point to the recovery partition for a factory reinstall.
I did this because you know.. always try the least intrusive fix first.. at least thats what i was taught.
If that doesn't work and the guy is stuck with this copy of windows.. how do you make use of the stuff in windows.old?
