Suggest you try that. It will at least allow you to copy the files to external media, from which you could then copy them to your restored Vista installation.Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:57:03 GMTWAW8http://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic241410-44-1.aspxa co-worked restored his 32 it vista business laptop with a neighbor's recovery CD she created on her 64 bit vista ultimate computer. During the process my co worker created a backup of current files in an Emergency folder which is still present. When I try to run the backup_mm-dd-yy_time..exe file it indicted I needed to check to see if running 32 bit or 64 bit, apparently it was runnig 64 bit on 32 bit machine? I've retored the laptop to 32 bit windows vista hoping I could then restore from this emergency folder. It now tells me The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
