I'll be back!

It's been about 2 months now since I wrote any posts here. There are a number of reasons why I stopped writing.....for a while. I guess the main reason was, that I just had too much to do at work, combined with things I had to do outside of work. When Read More...

Another loss in Vista Land

So this week there's only been one post from me. As I said on Monday, I've started to work on my regular job again after 4 weeks of vacation.

Lost my files in Vista land

Time flies by, it's sunday again after a hectic week with customer visits. Next week will be the same. But a pretty calm and nice weekend. There'll be no CS tip today unfortuneatly because I lost all my documents and files on friday. I had my notes on what I should write about there, and my memory is not what it used to be.

No it wasn't a HD crash. It was me upgrading from swedish vista beta 2 to english vista build 5456 and relying on the Windows Easy Transfer. You know the tool that are supposed to backup all you settings and files, so you can restore them on the new machine later on.

So I backed up my beta 2 installation, and started the installation of the new build, wiped the partition to get a clean install. After the installation was finished I tried to restore my files with Windows Easy Transfer. The first problem was that it said it couldn't transfer files between different language versions. Hmm, ok, I can respect that, even if I just wanted the files, I could do without the settings. So I set up a virtual machine with my swedish vista beta 2 to run the restore there. And after a couple of battles with WET it started to restore. But when finished it had just restored about 2 Gb of the 7 Gb WET file. Looking through the documents folder showed that everything wasn't restored.

I seldom give up right away, so I did a new restore. But the results where the same. Searched the newsgroups and reported bugs, but couldn't find any thing. There was a couple of problems reported with WET, but nothing exactly as my problem. So now I am sitting with the files within that WET file without being able to extract them. Grr!
