Restore Does Not Work

<< < (4/8) > >>

ka6uup:
no, I was in safe mode.

ka6uup:
After rereadsing the instructions I see I should have been in repair.
Sorry. I didn't get that the first time around.
Let me do that and see what I get.

- I would try something else first.
- System Restore uses the VSS (Volume Shadow System) sub-system in Windows (e.g. Win 7). To test whether or not VSS is working try making a backup of the registry first.
1) Run - at least - the first 5 repairs of Tweaking's Windows Repair and then also run the repair "Repair Volume Shadow Copy Service" (Repair # 18). Or simply run them all. The purpose is to repair VSS but that requires that a bunch of other things need to work as well (e.g. WMI (repair #5))
2) Open Tweaking's Registry Backup (comes with WR) and make sure you untick "Always use Fallback Method" (in the "Advanced Settings" tab). Then try to let the program (Registry Backup) make a backup. If that succeeds then the VSS system is OK.

However I did backup my registry using Tweaking com just now without any errors.
I tried System Restore from the Recovery Environment and it failed.
In looking at the options on the page I only see the option to repair from an image.
I don't have an image or a disk for this installation which was done by the store from which I bought the computer .
The only disk I have is a Dell reinstall disk.
How is this computer going to fix this particular computer?

ka6uup:
I see my previous message last a few sentences. I use Macrium Reflect, which uses VSS, and backed up my computer last night without any problems.
