Trouble Recovering Hard Drive from Regen Backup in XP Home

by shad . Updated 17 years, 6 months ago

I Need your help big time

Had a crash

My Full Backup was done on an external using OnSpec Regen? Backup – came with Kaser Storage Vault External Hard Drive

I’ve reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition using the Fujitsu Recovery Disk and downloaded SP2

I’ve tried to do the full restore, but I fear I’m missing some fundamentals that I’m just not versed on

Here are some of the troubles that I am running into…………….

– I restored Windows XP Home Edition SP1 from the restore disk that Fujitsu provided
– Next, I did all the Windows Updates and Upgraded to SP2
– I download latest Regen Build 066 from techsupportlive.com and Install
– I go to TOOLS/REPAIR CATALOG
– Under SELECT AN OPTION FOR CATALOG REPAIR I choose “Disk”
– Next, I choose “All Disks”
– Then, I locate my Backup Store Data Files and click OK
– Works well and “Repair Catalog Completed”
– Up to this point, everything is looking OK

– Next, I choose “Full Restore”
– Then, hit “Next”
– My Backup Store IS listed in the Window, so I hit “Next”

Here’s where I run into trouble, and it has to do with locating the SNAPSHOT files

Which Snapshot do I select?

My (C) Drive or my Storage Vault (I) Drive

My Backup Storage Drive is Storage Vault I:/

I notice that there are some System Files on the backup drive

Is that the drive that I choose to Restore From?

I’m also a little confused about whether or not I should choose “Original” or “New” Location

– Under “Where do you want to restore?”, I selected “New Location” and chose (C)

I tried that, and I noticed that it began copying ALL of the files from my Storage Vault I:/ Drive to my C:/ Drive

Also, will I need to disable Windows File Protection before Restoring?

I hope I’m making this clear

I’m also running into Windows File Protection and not having very good luck disabling

I am not sure If I’m choosing or placing the snapshots or system files to and from the right areas etc.

I need help

Hope all is going well for you

Hit me back
