I make a backup of all my music,videos and pictures before I reinstall
Microsoft Vista, this files are of the "fbw" format
an example is this;
minwinpc/safety copy of files 2007-03-13 084035/safetycopy.002.fbw

When I try to reinstall it, Vista can't find any backupfiles, and I cant
select it manual..
Is there som programs that can bring back all of the backupfiles?
Hope someone can help me

What application created the .fbw file?

Is it an image file?

To "find" any file on your computer use Vista search. Then at least
you know where to point to. Your example doesn't include any drive
letter.

If you backup was on the same partition as the one you installed Vista
to and you did a clean install you wrote over your backup files and
everything else. :-(
 
I have the OS on C: and use this disk mostly,
on D: I save the "backupdfiles" from Vista, and it's the old files
on E I have the reinstall partition of Vista saved.

The first backupfile is nuber 001, and have the status as a program (exe
file), when I se on the description of the file it's a "RestoreWiz
Application"

The exactly description of the place and filename is this:
d:\minwinpc\sikkerhetskopiering av filer 2007-03-13
084035\sikkerhetskopiering.001
thats a program file

d:\minwinpc\sikkerhetskopiering av filer 2007-03-13
084035\sikkerhetskopiering.002.fbw
is the files with number from 002 up to 013

Hope this is information that can help :)

Are you using an HP computer? I am having the same problem and I think this is an HP issue not a Microsoft issue. I am hoping to talk to HP tonight with Microsfot and get HP to start working the problem but it would be good to know if this was an HP machine.

To whom are you talking? You created a new thread, instead of replying to a
current one, so there is no context
 
If you mean to do a bare-bones restore, then you must have been using
Complete PC to backup your system. To do the restore you boot to the install
DVD..
 
did you ever figure out a solution to your problem? I have the same issue. Any help would be appreciated even if you didnt find a solution please let me know

Thanks

You should be aware that few helpers here will even respond to anyone
posting from the EggHead Cafe interface. This is why:

You are not posting on a real forum as you think you are. You are using a
web interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us are using
real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to participate in
Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This is very easy to do
and I'll give you information about that below. If you prefer to use a
forum, then here are two excellent ones:

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it. Here
are some links to information about newsgroups:
