    Hello,

    Please excuse my starting a new thread (couldn't find an existing one).

    Now, i have clean installed windows 7(64) on my hard drive and want to use this as recovery option (the OEM partition is XP). I have used the Rescue and Recovery Software to backup the partition (21/30 GB used) to my external HDD. The files on the External HDD are only 330MB.

    So is the RR storing most of the files in the OEM partition or is my backup incomplete (corrupted or interrupted)? Experts, what do you think.


    Thanks.

    Not knowing the exact steps you followed makes it impossible to give you an accurate answer, but I can guarantee you don't have a complete backup of Windows 7. You simply can't compress it that small.

    If you want to know for sure, run the restore on a different blank hard drive and see what pops out.
