Hi....

I have a problem and will PAY anyone who helps me out of it! It is
getting pretty bad!


I used Windows Complete Backup... Several months ago one of the RAID
volumes was showing issues.... I reformatted the RAID, and was able to
restore the entire computer perfectly.

NOW the same thing has happened. However, I tried to take another
COMPLETE PC BACKUP before the format to update it.. after 3 tried, it
failed to do the increment with an error message about a file not being
specified.

In any case, I did the format, thinking the COMPLETE backup would be
fine and restore the last good backup.

NOW I find out that the Windows Recovery Enviornment does not see the
vhd files and backup at all....

I tried (after renaming WindowsiMage folder on my backup drive) to
reinstall the OS and then do a complete pc backup and restore. It was
fine. Worked great.

Therefore the issue is in the backup items... the 2 vhd's (there were 2
partitions) are FINE.... Im fact using the program winimage I can see
the files and everything.

The reason it does not see the vhds to restore must have to do with an
issue either with the catalog files or the xml files.

Does ANYONE know a way to make it work so I can do the restore??? I am
without the computer until this is done.. all the files and data are in
the vhds... but it is frustrating as it says it can not find a valid
backup upon booting into the Windows recovery Complete PC backup.

If anyonje knows a way to fool the system somehow to I can restore the
images please let me know..... or at least a way to just restore one
(one was a dell recovery area).

Thank you so much for your help! ANd I am serious about the money if
someone can help get me out of this!

Mike
