| | Restore from System Backup About 2 weeks ago I did a full system back up and now I want to restore SOME of the files from this backup. Whenever I go into the Backup and Restore Center and attempt to do a Restore files I receive a warning that There are no backups available on this computer. But, from the main screen I can see that the last backup was done on 7/7/2008 and was backed up to drive "G". This is an external hard drive and now when I connect it Windows Vista (Ultimate) assigns it to drive "H". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

| | Re: Restore from System Backup You're going to have to un-do whatever you did to bump the drive from "G:" to "H:" - if Windows Backup can't find it where the backup where thinks it saved it, the backup will be considered corrupt and unusable. -- Richard G.
