Disaster recovery on Vista 64bit?

Post by raysaun »

I am running Vista Home premium 64bit on a HP Notebook.
I backup to an external drive using USB.
I have no Vista CD.
HP provides a method to restore the system to its original delivered state.
I am not able to install the Windows AIK on my 64 bit system.
I can not write an AISBackup Restore CD.

After reading the recovery stuff in the manual and going through all I can find in the forums, I am still confused :? as to how I should go about disaster recovery.

I assume I would:

Restore my system to its original state.
Install AISBackup
Run a restore using my latest backup on the USB drive.

How do I proceed from there?

Have I asked a dumb question :roll: or does no one know the answer?

Windows AIK on 64-bit

I have tested Windows AIK on 64-bit Windows and it worked okay. What problems are you having?

When I run startCD, I get an error message which indicates:

"Version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running...."

There is a readme.htm file but it comes up garbage in, both, Firefox and IE.
It seems to have the amd64 files on it, but I have not been able to find anything on how to run them. :cry:
