I burnt them on the first day, according to instructions, but they've never been used. Would they be of any use?	B.M. (505)

I burnt them on the first day, according to instructions, but they've never been used. Would they be of any use? They would only be OK if it were the ASUS laptop being reinstalled. It will more than likely ONLY be the OS and drivers for the ASUS. Do you have a W7 ISO / DVD ? A recovery DVD and a backup image are two different things.	wainuitech (129)
1419550	2016-04-26 07:04:00	The recovery disks will take it back to when it was new with maybe the loss of your files look for the recovery partition and do a repair from there www.sevenforums.com look for how to get there from your documentation that came with the laptop or online Looks like you may need a disk to give you the Repair option	Lawrence (2987)

1419552	2016-04-26 21:41:00	I bought recovery disks for W7 & W10 off TradeMe, work a treat. Thanks for the heads-up mzee but I can't see any there at the moment. :thumbs: But hunting through my collection of Boot disks, going back to DOS 3.1 I found a Win7 32bit Recovery Disk and I haven't got a clue where it came from. Don't suppose it will work on 64bit machine? :confused:	B.M. (505)
1419553	2016-04-26 21:50:00	I bought recovery disks for W7 & W10 off TradeMe, work a treat.There are basically two types of "recovery Discs". Ones made by the Name brand manufactures which often also include drivers for what ever model of computer they are made from and the standard repair Disks made by windows, which don't include name branded Drivers for any specific model. If drivers are included then it wont work on a different computer/hardware. Then of course the real install disc. (different to a recovery disc)	wainuitech (129)

When mentioned before about having backup images, how far back are they and what type (program used) Images are meant for times like this where you can drop them back in to before the problem began. Yes, Wainui I've got back-up images from here to Africa dating back to DOS days, however, the two that I think would be most appropriate are dated 15/11/15 & 2/10/15. I have more recent images but I figured it might pay to go back to before I was having power supply problems just in case the trouble started then. Those images were made with Paragon (I think) but I also have some made with EaseUs and Oceter at various times. Trouble is Paragon doesn't seem to name their images and just save them as arc_ files. 7144	B.M. (505)
1419555	2016-04-26 22:26:00	Don't know if wainui would PM you a key(sorry I had to ask) to be able to download Windows 7 www.microsoft.com This is from the Sevenforums www.pcsteps.com I have Windows 7 64 Bit but it's pro version from MDL	Lawrence (2987)
1419556	2016-04-27 21:21:00	Well, yesterday afternoon, in the absence of any further ideas, I decided to run Paragon Back-up & Recovery 14, the programme that had previously made the images. All went well, although I’d never done a restore previously, and I found out I could choose which folders to restore, as opposed to everything, so I chose only the Windows folder. First thing up was notification this procedure would take 5 hours, followed quickly by a revision to 14hrs. It sat on 1% for hours but the HDD lights were flashing away merrily so I left it and went to bed. About 1am I got up and it had finished so the procedure took about 10hrs not 10min I was hoping for. Now the good news in everything seems to be working fine, but the bad news is SFC still reports endless files that are supposedly faulty and need to be fixed manually and authentication still doesn’t work. This leaves me wondering if it isn’t the master files which I understand are protected and hidden somewhere are the ones that are corrupted??? I think the folder holding those files used to be known as i386, but I can’t find any such folder on this machine. I’ve been looking at the CBS log to see if I can find a clue and a lot of the problems seem to be thumbnails and .jpg files???? Here’s a screenshot. 7147	B.M. (505)

If the complete computer OS was OK at the time of making the image, then replace the lot. If only putting back deleted files (documents, pictures etc) thats fine. Example of complete: On a insider install I have, the latest upgrade 14332 is causing a problem, wont stay installed. I had made a image of the previous OS last week 14316 before the then upgrade came out, Just put that back 14316 last night, I use Active@disk Image, it was just over 70GB, took roughly 1 1/2 hours, just fired it up this morning, running perfectly, and now manually upgrading to the latest.	wainuitech (129)
