Windows Vista0
I am attempting full PC restore for Vista Ultimate



I am on the the Advanced Boot Options screen for Vista.



Safe Mode



The windows help instructions say:



On the Advanced Boot Options menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair

your computer, and then press ENTER.



There is not an option that says 'Repair your computer'.



Any ideas on how I should proceed?



Thanks.

Its not in Safe Mode, this is after you have booted from your DVD and

selected your Language:

I am attempting the full restore from a backup on an external hard drive



I used F8 to get to this screen:



'Advanced Boot Options



Choose Advanced Options for: Microsoft Windows Vista



(use the arrow keys to highlight your choice.)



Safe Mode (highlighted)

Safe Mode with Networking

Safe Mode with Command Prompt



Enable Boot Logging

Enable low-resolution video (640x480)

Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)

Directory Services Restore Mode

Debugging Mode

Disable automatic restart on system failure

Disable Driver Signature Enforcement



Start Windows Normally'



Where to from here?



My apologies for lack of knowledge.

Ah OK , thanks.



When you say 'and boot from it' in your instructions, how do I boot from the

DVD?

When your Computer is starting up, insert your Windows Vista installation

DVD, it should prompt you to boot from it by striking a key on your

keyboard. If that option is not available, you need to go into your BIOS and

set your boot options to boot from your Optical drive.

Great, it worked perfectly.



Thanks very much for your patient support.



I have completely restored the shadow image, what a time and stress saver.



The shadow image was from 4 Sep 07, I now need to restore the data and files

between then and 20 Nov 07 when the disaster occurred. Hopefully this will

go smoothly.



Thanks again.
