Webuser Forums: Comp crashed [Go Back 3 can't recover] data loss may occur

Hi,

XP home ed OS SP2.

"your comp crashed or was shut down while go back was in the middle of recovery on disk#1. Unless there is a serious problem and recovery continues to fail, you should allow goback to continue the recovery process, otherwise data loss may occur" Do you wish to continue recovery? Y[defaulted]/N.

Tried to continue but no joy. It seems to freeze then after ages eventually says it must reboot. Then comes back to above message. I think the only option is to not continue recovery. The other option after this is to disable goback or it can be forcibly removed by the computer. It says all historical data would be lost. I presume this means the go back back ups. I don't want to lose all data as not backed up for while. Still transferring files to new computer via USB stick.

Also had message about possible overclocking and other poss reasons when selected to not continue recovery.

Thanks for all help!

System restore should be a possibility, although my experience of it is it may not go back to the date you want. Everything was saved, I believe, before crash. I have often forcibly turned PC off as shutdow.bat sometimes has hung after clicking this shortcut file I set up. Unable to defrag recently as says not enough space to do it.

Matt
