Disaster recovery on Vista 64bit?
Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:34 pm
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?
