| Administrator | Re: Restore Complete Computer Hi MissouriBoy, I added instructions at the top of the tutorial in NOTE B, but it may not work unless you have a recovery partition on your drive to. Try it and see of you have a Repair option in the Advanced Boot Options screen. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Administrator | Re: Restore Complete Computer Grosssr, You might try copying the WindowsImageBackup folder when it is connected to the other computer to a DVD and see if you can use it from that instead. See the Backup Location section at the top of the tutorial to see how. Shawn |

| Administrator | Re: Restore Complete Computer Hi Samayam, and welcome to Vista Forums. That option is available to all express or retail Vista installation DVDs. Did you have the location of the other backup connected to the computer before you booted to the System Recovery Options screen? If it detects no other option available when it scans for backups, then the different backup option will not be listed. Hope this helps, Shawn |
