System Restore?

Question

I did a system restore and it let me save some files to my c drive, I cannot access those files. I was wondering if anyone knew if I could restore those files. On my cdrive their is a folder that says my backup and it has all the information saved before the restore. I can see all my mp3s but when I try to burn them it says unsupported files in both real and media player. Somebody help please these are too many files to throw away, Help

Answer 1

If you go back into the System Restore feature, there should be an option to "undo" the last restore.

In addition, personal files shouldn't be touched during a restore. The System Restore feature only deals with system files, not applications you've installed or files you've downloaded/created.

See if undoing the restore gives access back, and if so, save them to CD/DVD...

Answer 2

what file extension are the files now? (thats the ending letters) maybe you can drag them out using 'audacity' (via the 'import raw data'), convert to wav/mp3 or such, and then play them. i got a hunch you mite have screwed up the copywrite authorization business. windows is a ***** with any kind of messing with them, and won't let you play them. i lost $30 worth of music once,,,,, never got it back, too much hassle.
