How to reinstall backup disc files photos?

Question

I have an Acer computer that was not restarting, and giving me all sorts of headaches. I contacted Acer, and they told me to make a backup disc, which I did (hopefully it backed up like it said it did).
Now how do I reinstall my backup disc. I just want my files and photos back. I did a recover, and did that just barely too I might add
I am running Windows 7, how do I reinstall it from my disc, it's a cd rom??
Thanks

Usually the utility used to create the backup is used to 'read' it, and restore the files.
These are not kept in the original format (such as ".jpg" or ".wav") but in the format of the utility.
You open the utility, and select the "Restore folders and files..." (or similar).

Some utilities will try to put folders/files exactly where they were, so it's very helpful if your User Account name is identical to the one you had originally; otherwise all those items get spread out all over the place and it's a major pain to sort them out.
 
I've seen several breeds (depending on the maker) and none of them are identical.
since you have Internet, you might try looking at the Acer website, perhaps in the Customer Support or Q&A section to get exact steps.

Good luck.

in case you may acquire a software from Ontrack reported as 'ordinary restoration expert', attempt it - i've got recovered information from reformatted drives quite a few circumstances, regularly with rather sturdy consequences. One or 2 issues to bear in mind nonetheless - a million) attempt to no longer save too lots on the stress till at last you have recovered the information you like - writing to the stress would desire to overwrite precisely what you elect to get well - 2) it is not a solid concept to get well information ONTO the stress you're convalescing it FROM - so a 2nd no longer ordinary stress could be ultimate.
