Boot Failure - how to Restore on another desktop ?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Shane:
You run the dos_restore.cmd

It then restores the files in the folder, the txt files are just logs for you thats all.

When you run the reg backup it puts a file in the Windows folder. The dos file looks for that file so it knows which correct drive letter to restore to from dos in case the letters dont match up as normal :-)

I typed the Dos Command, but it said it can not find the windows directory and said to look online for help, but I so not see any references, do you have some?

TIA

Shane:
If the dos one isnt working then try the live cd trick (last video on this page)

Are you saying that: if I run this command from a repair window using the Install disk, it will work?

Or

If I put the Corrupt Drive in Another System as the Slave Drive, and then run the DOS_RESTORE command that, it will restore the System Files on the Slave Drive.

If I install tweaks on another system, and point to the backup files needed now to restore on the slave drive, they do not display as restore options; any chance we can get them to display and then point them back to the slave drive as an option. "Is that re-dun dent from running the DOS_RESTORE Command?"

Shane:
No, what I am saying is the way I have the regback save the registry is by the full folder path. This way you can do an easy copy and paste restore if you can access the files from somewhere else.

Such as a live cd or putting the drive into another machine as a secondary drive, or anything that will give you access tot he drive and copy and paste functions :wink:
