    I am having a brain fart or something
    I am attempting to help a friend recover from some backup disk he made.
    The back up disks are an image he took several months ago.

    1. I am booting from a system boot disk [made on the same disk]
    [I even tried from within the system.]
    2. The backup disk themselves are not bootable.

    When I browse to the CD I can see the files
    but
    When I attempt to recover I cannot locate the files

    When I do it from the boot disk . . . I click on Other Images
    and it is not finding them.
    The only other option are Network Image
    or load disk drivers [which I suspect I might need to do . . but not sure
    where those drivers reside. The windows is on the computer so the drivers should be there.

    Am I missing something?
    What am I missing?

    This is a Dell Win 7 64 Bit system.

    Sounds like you are just a push over as a user. Always trying to find a reason for why technology doesn't work. Maybe you should just toughen up and smack the computer and the disk around a little bit.

    I'm not saying there AREN'T times where there are legitimate reasons for technology to not work right, but I think too often we just try to be lazy and find a quick solution when the real key is to just be a better user.
