Restore using Windows 7. . . I'm assuming you made your backup using Control Panel Backup and Restore Create a system image If so, you should have a .VHD file (Virtual Hard Disk) stored somewhere. You can find it easily, since .VHD files are usually few in number. Run DIR /S /B .VHD Make a note of where your system backup file is located. Boot from your Windows 7 DVD. Select Language and Country When the Install Window opens, choose Repair When the system finishes checking for existing systems, choose to recover from a system image you created earlier. If Windows cannot find your backup, it will give you an opportunity to tell it where to look. Point it toward the backup you found manually. Although this seems like a lot of work, it's far easier than the work you'd face if you cannot restore your system. Cheers, PW. P.S. Free imaging software from Acronis. . . For Seagate drives, get Disk Wizard seagate.com For Western Digital drives, get True Image support.wdc.com P.P.S. In theory, you could "mount" your backup .VHD and use Acronis to take an image of it. Later, you could Restore your system from this image using Acronis. NOTE: I have NOT tried this.*
