    I had to reinstall vista, but backed up my files to an external HD before doing so. Now the restore program can't get my data back. I get an error message - The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057) I'm using advance restore and checking files on another computer to get to the hard drive. MS says there's a hotfix but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help, please?

    Never mind. I found out that the box saying to restore entire backup didn't work. When I added each folder individually I got them transferred.
