Vista fbw backup file issues
LockedI was updating Windows VIsta to SP1 and Vista corrupted a file causing me to have to reformat my hard drive and to reinstall Vista.
I backed up using the ONLY resource they had as I could not manually back up due to the computer crash. The backup was put on a External hard drive. So now I have 2 files on my external harddrive, now got backup.1.exe and backup.1.fbw
The fbw file is 64 gigs, NO WAY to back it up to a DVD, CD etc because of it’s size.
Tried renaming the fbw to backup.001.fbw but the program no matter what I have done or where I have run it keeps saying, please insert Disk #1… Don’t have one… so it isn’t working.
Tried to put the EXE and fbw both on the main computer to no avail, set the program compatibility to Windows XP (SP2), Tried hooking the external hard drive up to an XP computer,… Disabled my CD\DVD rom in order to see if it would stop looking for the disk there etc.
Not sure what to do at this point, if I rename the exe file to backup.001.exe it freezes and won’t work.
Called HP, they know NOTHING, called Compaq NOTHING…
I have 64 gigs of information backed up and no way to get to it, ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated
