Hard drive failure -> Recovery -> Backup -> Restore? Using Nero
Hi all,
Another query from the baffled, bewildered and frustrated... I had a major hard drive failure about 1 month ago [original thread http://groups.google.ie/group/comp.s...16838ddadd6a67 Sent it back to the manufacturer and got a replacement. Working great now. The only thing is that I used file recovery software to get as much off the disk before I sent it back. I used Nero backup to burn the results. I have tried to restore this backup to the hard disk but am having no luck. Each dvd of the backup seems to be empty under windows explorer!!!! There is clearly data on the dvd as I watched it backup under Nero... but it's not accessible. Restoring using Nero I reach a point where it asks me to put in disk 1 of the backup - It asks me to compare the following disk id with the one located in the nb.txt file located on the root of my backup disk. The disk appears empty - where is this nb.txt? I then tried to use previous backups... they all appear empty also - except the ones I made to cd and not dvd. Does anyone know what's happening here [apart from ineptitude rearing its ugly head] Many thanks Dave |

Your thoughts would be appreciated Dave |
