Hi,
Hope someone can help. I'm trying to use Vista's Complete PC Backup utility
to upgrade my hard drive: I've backed up onto a USB hard disk, replaced the
hard disk in my pc and booted from the windows installation cd and selected
"Repair your computer" at the menu. From looking at tutorials on the
internet, I then expected to be able to use Complete PC Restore to restore
windows onto the new hard disk. However, in the "System Recovery Options"
dialog where I'm prompted to select an operating system to repair, no
operating systems are listed. Clicking the 'Load Drivers' button allows me to
browse both the newly installed disk and the usb disk with the backup on, so
I assume that no drivers need to be loaded. Any ideas on how I might be able
to make Vista see the backup would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Mike
