Restoring A Backup, Mail Not Indexed?
Mar 23, 2008
my understaning is that you can back up the contents of the Windows Live Mail folder to back up your email. (ie, you can later copy that back into your Windows Live Mail folder to restore) But it seems doing so borks the Vista indexer. For example, if I:
1) back up my Windows Live Mail folder
2) load a "clean" Vista image back onto the PC
3) copy the backup into the Windows Live Mail folder
When I do this, the contents of the Windows Live Mail folder are no longer included in the Vista index. Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't the restored copy have the same index behavior?

I am able to backup my C drive to my D drive with no problems. The problem I have is that I cannot restore my C drive from the D drive that I have it backed up on. I tried to do it from both the desktop, and from the original install CD, and also a rescue disk that I created. I keep getting an error message telling me to restart. Nothing works that I try. Do any of you know what the difference is between True Image 11 and TI 2009?

My first time here and I've been looking through the very informative posts in this thread. I did not, however, find the answer to my particular problem. Apologies if I've overlooked it. Before sending my Sony for repair I created a system backup image on an external usb drive. When I start the Windows Recovery Environment and select 'Windows Complete Restore', it shows the name of the backup, the date it was created and the location where it is going to be restored to. Interestingly this shows a long, seemingly random number, followed by C: I can't change it. Immediately underneath there is an error message that reads: The Windows Recovery Environment needs to be loaded from a hard disk, but Windows needs to format that disk to restore your computer. Reboot from a CD or DVD and try the restore again. I did not get a Windows DVD with my computer. I do have a recovery DVD that I made when I got the computer but that doesn't seem

Prior to reinstalling my Vista due to some troubles I made a backup on my F: drive. Having now reinstalled Vista I try and 'Restore'. From Windows Backup I get "There was an unexpected error: Backup has not been set up on this computer. An administrator must first create a backup before you can restore files (0x810000EE)Backup will now close. However if I look on my F drive I see my backup set and date made.

I've moved from Outlook Express on my XP desktop to Windows mail on my Vista laptop. I plan on moving to Outlook on both computers, but not until I get this folder thing straightened out. I was able to import my OE mail into Windows Mail ok. Then I had a hard drive failure on my laptop. I had backed up my mail files and I was able to restore my Windows Mail ok.
I had several "Recovered Folders", but they included everything. I moved all of my folders out of the recovered folders and placed them once more under the Inbox. Then I deleted the empty recovered folders.
Now I want to backup my mail, not using the Vista backup, but with a third party. So when I go into my Windows Mail folder in Windows Explorer, I find all of the "recovered folders" are still there. Now they're listed as Local Folders. I can't find the configuration of my folders as I see them in Windows mail at all. I have a "Backup" folder with a "new" folder inside of it with a windows file that is unopenable.

I figured out why some of my files weren't turning up in search, it was because they weren't indexed. These were mostly some of my .mp3s I've downloaded from the internet or ripped from a CD. So I'm wondering, why are some of my .mp3s automatically indexed the way they're suppose to be and some aren't? Also, is there an easier way to find out which files aren't indexed rather than having to check it in properties for each file? That takes a long time...

I have now found out about the search you can do with Windows key + F, but I was wondering where that program is that the shortcut starts. Is it possible to make another shortcut that would just be on the desktop to the same search program, so you would only need to click on the shortcut on the desktop?
Also, is it possible to set a default so the search program would also search the non-indexed files, instead of going to the advanced screen and having to check the box? Or does Vista want to require you to have indexing on for every drive?

I'd like to transfer my all windows mail / messages from Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit after installing clean Vista 64 bit on other Hard Drive which will be inserted as a new C; on the same PC. An old C: drive might / my not be included to this PC. An Easy Transfer is not in my case the best option. The Exporting from Vista Windows Mail does not back up all my folders and sub folders from Windows Mail directory. Not to mention that so called "Imported " folders are not the best to handle.

Where are the email folders so that I can back them up on an external backup drive?I can't find them in the directory list.I want to make sure they are all backed up like I do the old XP external backup drive.I would like to be able to recover my saved emails if I have a system crash and recovery.It has happened before on the XP system and I had them saved and restored to the Outlook Express program in it.As of now I have been backing up everything in Vista under my personal directory, which includes Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, etc. This Vista is a factory install OS.

My wife's Emachine PC (produced just prior to Gateway's takeover of Emachines) originally came with Vista Home Premium on it. Because of some classes that she was taking, it was an absolute MUST that she had XP on it (she wouldn't even consider a virtual machine go figure?). So, we removed Vista and installed XP. Now that the class is done, her XP load is going screwy because of all kinds of garbage that my step-son did on it via various less-than-savory websites, and she wants Vista back. Between then and now we moved and we haven't the first clue where any of the restore CDs or DVDs are - BUT - there is a partition on the hard drive that was created by PC Angel. Is there any way that we can get the data from that partition back into place on the C drive and have a usable, bootable OS without having to jump through hoops or shelling out money for a new restore CD/DVD ? It would appear by the folder structures there and everything that I've seen in them that it's a full blown setup of Vista Home Premium.

I have Exported my Windows Mail to Microsoft Exchange multiple times this morning, but I can't seem to find the .PST file it made. I have checked for *.PST in all indexed locations as well as all the hard drives in this computer. It made me create a profile (lvsysop) and I have searched the same locations for 'lvsysop' and "lvsysop.pst", but I can't find the file Windows Mail made. I've also checked for "outlook' and "Outlook.pst".Did it make a .PST file and if not what file did it make? It sure looked like it was making something as it scanned through the folders in Windows Mail.

Using Vista Home Basic. Is there any way to backup EVERYTHING regarding my EMAIL? i.e. My messages, folders, contacts, message RULES. In other words After I do a complete format of my disk because VISTA has said I don't have a GENUINE Verision anymore after using it for more than 8 months and actually verifying the genuineness several times but i digress. So After I do my rebuild i would like to be able to restore my email functionality et all to it's current state with all the messages, folders, rules, etc. AM I asking TOO much in the year 2008 for this to be possible never mind easy?

A bit of confusion had occured during a repair of windows to fix the "Black Screen of Death (KSOD)" issue. I was told to use a Vista installation disk to repair a Dell laptop, as we no longer have the original disks. There was a question as to which version of windows was already on the hard drive and I chose the wrong one. (Not my fault, Dell gave me the wrong info).
The result was that, apparently, the old Windows (Vista Home Premium) was moved to c:windows.old and the new version (Vista Home Basic) was installed into c:windows. Therefore, all of his applications are no longer available. Is is possible to restore the old windows by booting to a command prompt and renaming the directories? The oringinal installation disks did not use a license key and I fear that, eventually, Genuine Advantage will ask for a license key. This is his only machine and I really want to help the kid out.

So I had a virus and long story short I was made to restore my system from the OS Disc that came with my laptop. Somehow I royally screwed things up and deleted my back-up restore drive D. All I have in the Computer Folder is Drive C and the D drive is now my DVD/CD drive. In addition all I had when Windows started up was an icon for the recycle bin. It seems everything is wiped out. I backed-up my personal files but none of the software. So, how can I fix this? How do I create a new back-up restore partition?

I saved my personal files (documents I created in Microsoft Word) to a DVD-RW. My computer began freezing repeatedly so had to be fixed - thus wiping out my documents. So now I can't find anywhere how I restore them to my computer.

I hope this is the correct group. I've been running XP Pro for quie some time and recently installed Vista using Partition Magic and have also installed Vista BootPro. I planned a full migration of all of my data from XP today but cannot boot into XP for some reason. I was going to export or save vital data from XP, so this is quite a bummer. I cannot enter Safe Mode nor use Last Known Good Config options for XP. My box makes it up to the "Starting Windows" screen and hangs there. After exporting the data I require from XP and saving to disk I was going to manually install all of my progs into Vista (Quite a plan for the 4th, huh?)Is there a method to utilize an XP Restore Point from Vista to enable me to boot into XP?

I was wondering, since a system restore is basically restoring your system to a state it was at before, does it have anything to do with files you have deleted/moved etc. (will a system restore undo file deletions?), or does it have only to do with things like the registry? (restoring key entries in the registry) What does it have to do with and not to do with? Secondly let's say you purchased a dell, it's going to be at factory condition, meaning it has windows and a bunch of other stuff on it. You install a fresh copy of windows via a windows cd, thereby deleting every driver and utility on there and have only a seemingly useless thing.
1. Will a system restore bring your computer back to factory condition? (the way it was when you bought it)
2. I also guess you can do a system restore if and only if you have a system restore point. How do you make one and how can you tell you've made one before? (in other words how can you tell you made one at a certain point and how it is like? Or, if someone else made one for you, how can you check this and what the restore point is like?)

Unfortunately I imported a backup folder for my email (.dbx) files without exporting the existing folder which I was going to replace from another pc. The original folder contained recent email files.I have done numerous searches but alas no avail to a former location for my Windows Mail original folder. I have Windows Vista - Home Premium and the former email folder was the original folder with a new PC (Dell Inspiron 530).

I had to re-install Vista after a system crash. I was able to access the restore drive via DOS and pull out the pst (Office 2003) files and copy them to a USB drive. I only had 1 pst file on my system but Vista backed it up to 7 different files. Now when I try to add these files to the restored system I get an error saying the file is not a a personal folders file. I used SCANPST on the largest backed up file and it recovered some of my email but when I try to use SCANPST on the other 6 backup files it says the files are
not personal folders files.

My computer crashed & I had to repair the system. The User that I entered is "xxxxxx". When I restored my backup files to their original location my mail box, which I had relocated from its default location to "Documents", reinstalled to the user name of my original installation "xxx". I then started Windows Mail and selected the mail box to that location. However when I try to restart Windows Mail I get the following "Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to openthe Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mailmailbox data is currently being used by another program...............(0x800C0155)"When I click OK I get a window showing "Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized. Is there a solution other than repairing Vista again?

I want to backup my emails in Win Mail (Vista home premium) - all of them so theres hundreds of them in dozens of folders I have created. So I go file - export - messages, select a format, select an EMPTY folder on my 1TB external drive, then try to export. I either get an error message telling me that some files may be corrupt, or that the destination folder may be too small. Or if I select just a tiny folder to export, it says export successful, but it only exports ONE email - the top one in the list I think? I really dont think I have corrupted files here - any folder I select to export seems to have a problem... as my motherboard is flakey, and I want to do the backup ASAP before it 'flakes' again!

I had to rebuild my workstation. I performed a backup, but not a system recovery. Just want my files. It backed up all my files, but when I try to restore them using the restore client, it only shows a small subset of the files I had under my user directory. However, if I look at the ext. disk I backed them up to, I see hundreds of zip files. If I look into those files, I see all my missing files. How come I cannot see all these files in my restore client? Is there a way to fix this? P.S. I have taken ownership of these files using my new account.

This is a minor annoyance with the recycle bin. After accidentally deleting the recycle bin icon and restoring it. It displays as empty even when it is full. If I hit F5 the bin shows its correct status.

I currently am using vista 64 bit premium operating system. I have completed a system restore and when I try to save or view my favorites folder it does not work? After the restore I found my "favorites" folder in my "downloads" folder. When I try to use the "favorites" shortcut I can view my history, but my favorites are blank? If I go to my "favorites" folder in my "downloads" folder the favorites I have saved show up in there, but I cannot open them?
