| | Vista cannot see backup sets I have a DELL XPS 420 with a Maxtor 250GB ext hard drive... I did a 'Complete PC Backup' to B: drive (The ext Maxtor) Next, I rebooted and used the system repair from the boot menu... this formated my hard drive and set everything back to the DELL factory defaults... re-installing Windows Vista Ultimate, Office 2K7, and all the other DELL junk... Now, I'd like to restore the computer to before the DELL repair... the files are all still on the B: drive, I can see them there... However, when I go to 'Restore files' -> 'Advanced restore' -> 'Warning - Continue' -> only the 'Files from a backup made on a different computer.' is enabled and already has a tick in the radio button -> 'Next' -> 'Looking for backup devices...' -> I select B: drive -> and it tells me "Windows cannot find an backup sets on the selected device" -- Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. 1 Corinthians 13:4 - 8, 13 |
