stressed out mum Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Hi Everyone Installed norton 2005 today and it didn't work Stupidly I didn't backup before installing and now I can't restore from ghost (it says that the file cannot be opened). I wish I hadn't started it now. Anyone got any ideas on how to open the file I just want it back as it was before Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UltraMum Report post Posted February 1, 2006 I asume you're on a PC - can you use system restore? Start - Control Panel - system and maintenance - system restore in top left pane - choose the last date before you installed the Norton stuff? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stressed out mum Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Hi flutter and MotherEve Thankyou for the replies. Yes on pc. Tried system restore and it said that it cannot restore to any of the points I pick. Tried to re-install ghost 2003 and that will not load either looks bad doesn't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltraMum Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Not looking good - can you try 'uninstall' for Ghost? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stressed out mum Report post Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Can't do that either it was written over by 2005. 2005 has goback rather than ghost Edited February 1, 2006 by stressed out mum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stressed out mum Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Yes 2005 has gone now but it seems to have taken some of the 2003 files with it When I try to open the backup file it says that it cannot be opened! Will take it it back shop tomorrow and ask them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
