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.
Problem number 2. I try to restore and the 2nd cd disk is bad. 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.
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?
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.
MrBill
