I installed windows 7 but i didnt create a backup? -

I forgot to make a backup before i installed windows 7, but i created a system backup on the computer, will it turn my OS back to vista? Jay

you can try since the only way to remove windows 7 is to format your drive you will need a vista disk also i would hope you were smart enough to dual boot windows 7 and keep vista on the other partition

Hi Jay, My name’s Ron and I’m a part of the Windows Outreach Team. I thought I’d drop in and offer a bit of advice here. If you still have Vista installed in another partition, things should be pretty easy when going back to your previous configuration. Many Vista computers have a recovery partition on their hard drives, and I’m guessing that if you backed up to your hard drive, this is where your info is backed up at. Here’s a link to a Microsoft page that tells you step-by-step how to do that: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows... Poke around a bit and see if you can find any of the restore files in there, that should give you a clue. If not, you can try contacting Microsoft through here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246 for a replacement disc. Cheers, Ron Windows Outreach Team
