[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 412019, member: 1514"] Im not quite sure exactly what you are asking...lol. What did you back up? You did a system restore right? Or did you re-install windows whatever on it? Like my computer is several years old and was running pretty sluggishly so we saved everything I wanted to save over on a portable hard drive and then we wiped my machine and installed Windows 7 on it. Now I have a clean easy child. I dont have some of the programs on it that I used to have though. Like I used to have Microsoft office that came with my old copy of Windows Vista. I had to lose that. Oh well, Im not buying another copy and will use OpenOffice. Its free. I can go to my portable hard drive and click on my music and "COPY" music to a file on my new easy child if I want to. Or I can just leave it where it is. For you, if you did a simple restore, you should have whatever basic programs came with your machine from the factory. You should be able to click on the file on the disc that comes up and send it to whatever location you want it to go. If you click on your mouse on the start up button (I guess thats what its called, its the one with the windows logo on my computer screen right now) it will bring up a menu with a list of programs. On mine it says Janets, documents, pictures, music, etc. If you click on Janet which will probably be Jena on yours, it should bring up all your folders where you will copy your files. I hope that made some sense. [/QUOTE]
