Restoring backup from previous installation

I've just tried to do restore in windows vista after replacing a corrupt disk
that I bought from Dell. I was very happy to see that it is a nice backup
feature in Vista and hoped to have everything back to normal quickly after
the replacement.
I've made two discoveries that has made me so g** da** m**!
The first one is not the badest. After I installed Vista on the new disk
(which is in raid 0 with another 500 gig) the backup program said that I had
to do a backup before I could restore anything. But I HAD a backup from my
previous installation. I therefore made a backup and replaced the files so I
could make a restore.
After restoring the files a lot of errors occured I I opened Outlook to see
if all my mails where there, but NO!! Outlook was corrupted. Outlook.pst was
not working. In the backup files outlook.pst was only 2mb. I tried to use
scanpst.exe with no help. So I guess I've lost all my mails now due to the
bad backup feature in Vista!!!!

Kind regard,

Jon Haakon Ariansen

Try to restore to alternative place or chose manual
restoration...something like that).I`m not familiar with Windows Backup
(expectauly with Vista`s backup) For backup of my system drive I use
Acronis True Image Home and other files (documents,progs...) I put on a
exetrnal drive (including a image maded with Acronis) and I use
Microsoft Sync Toy to sync data with external drive using method "echo".
