    If they are part of the same backup job, just select the first file (or any of the others) and do one restore. TI knows to use all the files. It should say when you click on it that it is 1 of 5, for example.

    If you do each in sequence, you'll do the same restore five times.

    Is that a Dell with the Media Center feature, if not which model?
    What version of True Image are you using?

    Are you doing a disk or partition restore?

    In other words, when restoring and you get to the screen titled "Partition or Disk to Restore",
    are you tickmarking the disk option; or are you tickmarking only a single partition?

    Am not understanding your responses. What I am understanding is that your computer is not booting satisfactorily.

    if your backup was a 'disk" backup type which included all partitions, then my recovery action would be to do a "disk" restore. This is covered in my guides listed on line 2 of my signature.

    yes it is not booting a problem that has been on going it worked twice but mostlynot as a result I have been dealing with Dell on it and feel until thatget'sfixed I can't resore.

    Dell justtold me that they need me to open pc to wiggle partsand when I told them I have a disabilty they sayI have to pay for a local tech who can call them to finish the trouble shoot process. I guess new industry po;icy for wedisabled.

    Anyone know how tocall Michael Dell

    on this screen it shows ntfs c and the mbr I would check the ntfs item priv/acct-capacity 298-free space 268- should I check this?

    When I backed up I checked my computer I apologize for my lack of knowledge this is new to me

    also I fixed the boot problem I had and can now restore without using cd

    You should restore the entire disk. You will see a list of partitions, each with a check box to the left, but you should instead check the box which is above the list of partitions to select the entire disk.

    No, please read what I wrote. Check the box above that list which selects the entire disk. It will be labelled Disk1 or Disk2 or whatever is correct depending on how many disks it finds.

    They probably changed it then-don't know what else to tell you-try googling it but don't expect too much but good luck.

    Refer to Sample image B-4 in Backup Guide. This shows how to do a "disk" backup.

    Refer Sample image R-6 in Restore guide. This shows how to do "disk" restore providing you have completed a "disk" backup.
