I have a backup of my 250gig hard disk on 13 CD's. My problems
started when my motherboard failed. I swapped the motherboard with
the eForce-a and AMD 3000+ processor. The maxtor drive website says
if changing the BIOS, the drive overlay needs to be backed out prior
to going to the upgraded BIOS. Since the motherboard failed, I could
not do that. When I installed the drive the new system said the
drive was unreadable. After multiple attempts from the Maxtor site
and the Maxtor software to recover the drive I figured it was no use,
after all, "I have a backup of the drive" I thought.
Its never a good idea to have just one backup.
Problem number 2. I try to restore and the 2nd cd disk is bad.
And that is why.
I try to clone this disk and restore with the clone and it will not restore.
I contact NTI and they suggest I get the Backup Now 4 trial version
and restore from the boot CD. Multiple times I try and cannot get
past the 2nd disk. I copy all 13 disks over to an image file on the
hard disk just so I have some form of archive of these image disks.
I contact NTI and they say there is nothing else they can do.
They're right, if one of the CDs isnt readable, you have a problem.
I have NERO and tried to restore using these disks but it wants a
different file type than NTI uses. NTI image backup writes to .NPF
file. NERO wants .NBI.
Is there anyway to do a selective restore
from these image disks with one of the disks bad?
A professional recovery operation may well be
able to do that, but they are very expensive.
Is there anything I can do with these cd's except use them for coasters???????
I have battled with this for 2 months and cannot get anything restored.
I hope somebody can help.
