Thank you for your tollerance of non-Nix issues... I have a friend I am trying to help with a compaq notebook. The hard drive developed so many bad sectors it couldn't boot, not even the recovery partition.
We got a set of the HP system recovery CD's and was able to put an OS on a new disk drive. But he needs to use the HP/Compaq Recovery Manager to restore some things from a backup he made a few months ago. Or at least get a few files from the backup that was made. THE QUESTION: 1) How to build a 'real' compaq recovery partition with recovery manager on it so F11 can boot into recovery manager? 2) OR ... Given a backup that was made with the Compaq recovery manager, how can I get the user files out of the old backup. Thanks... ><> ... Jack BTW, the OS is Vista Home Premium, on a Compaq Presario F700 laptop. I ask these questions here because my frustration with searching the web is becoming apparent even to me! ...
