Unable to complete restore
I start the restore going through all the steps and select proceed. It runs for a moment or two and says it must reboot. It reboots, TI comes up for a moment without showing any progress, then it starts windows and does not make any changes. I have TI 11 Home, build 8,101. I have some corrupted files and possibly some registry corruption. The PC is working with the basics but does not allow a lot of actions to be completed. Do I need to include the MBR for restore? or do I need to run it from the REcovery disk? If I run it from the recovery disk, will it recognize by external hard drive where I have the tib files?
I do not get any errors or indication the operation did nt succeed.

I tried that and it didn't do anything more. I just uninstalled TI and then reinstalled it. Will try running it again, but not until Thursday. Hopefully that will resolve the problem. I did try running it including the mbr but same result. I'll respond again after I run it again. Thanks

I tried several times using the recovery disk and the orignal install disk. Neither shows the external hdd. The only way is if I install acronis and run it from there. But then it goes to reboot quickly. It usually restarted and after a few minutes on the restore page, with no progress showing, would restart windows. One time it actually started the restore and got about half way through before giving me an error message that the file was corrupted. It had already deleted the partitions and the only way to get it running again was reloading windows from scratch. After that I checked the file with the validation tool and it showed OK, so I tried to restore again with no luck at all. When I start windows it wants me to choose between 8.0 and 8.1 but 8.1 does not run. I am not sure if I should restore the partition with the MBR first, just restore the c partition, or both and in what order. I am also unsure whether to restore using the sector by sector approach. I did an incremental backup and am wondering if that requires the restart to go to the next increment. If so it could be going to the ATI program that does not show the external hdd and causes an error. Is this possible and/or likely?
