windows Registry

[creendanceclear]

Hi All..New here

I have a Vista home system

I recently did a windows registry back up on my PC (Cleanmypc) i have about 20 gigs of zipped files in the back up folder.

Since then my hard drive died

I have two questions.

1. What is actually backed up in this system ?

2. Can i transfer the data (Zipped files) to a new hard drive without any issue using the cleanmypc software

Thanks in advance for any help

What is clean my pc? sounds like a registry cleaner

 

[creendanceclear]

Yes..sorry. Registry cleaner

Don't use them if you can help it. I don't know what software is included with that program but it sounds like you have cleaned out your whole registry and it will have to be replaced. Just how you can do this I don't know as I don't know enough about CleanMyPC Registry Cleaner. You may have to do a complete reinstall as I doubt a system restore would do it if its as dead as you say. Can you get into anything? What happens when you turn the computer on? Do you get any error messages?

Hello creendanceclear, welcome to Vista Forums!



Try the easy things first, have a look at the tutorial at the kink below; be sure to choose a restore date dated before you used the registry cleaner; be sure to post back to keep us informed.

Maybe I did answer the wrong question.

that clean my pc thing sounds fishy to me.

I have seen others have problems with it.
