How do i get back windows 7 when i updated to windows 8

Greg, I know you can explore a drive with PWizard but can it be used to copy content say to a usb drive ?

i found the windows.old000 and went inside and got my stuff now im going to factory restore

Good work. But are you sure the files are intact on the drive you copied them? Look first

Not PW, but using the Win7 flash stick installer he was able to browse in last night and found his files. He'd said his stick wasn't big enough to hold them when he tried to Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console .

im pretty sure their intact but i have a .avi clip thats suppose to have video but theres none only sound

You may need Flashplayer or an Add-On to play it on the machine you're using.

Is Factory Recovery completing from boot? Which option did you choose?

no i have not started factory restore yet and i have downloaded adobe flashplayer and the videos still have no video but still has sound

ok ive installed it and it still doesnt work

You may need more codecs: Install Shark007's FREE Codec solutions - Windows 7 codecs

Are you ready to run Factory Recovery now? It may not work so we may need to help you Clean Reinstall with the WIn7 installer provided - unless you made the Recovery Disks as a backup.

yes i am ready but im just hoping i can fix this when im in windows 7
