Title: Need to Restore My Installation...
Post by: Neco on October 13, 2012, 06:41:54 pm
Hi guys,

I was going to format at some point, but I kind of foobar'd my  boot sector or something, and my Win7 DVD claimed repair mode was incompatible with my version of windows, even though its the disc I.......installed Windows 7 from...

But anyway!   Had to stick my new SSD in and do a fresh install before I was ready and had time to prepare (had to unplug all my drives to get it to install it....thanks Microsoft)

So I am in the process of pulling data off my hosed SSD and copying it over to the new one..   I pretty much know how to get my library,   but  will that include my  personal settings such as  Custom Views, Custom fields,  or  options I have changed from the configuration menus, etc ??

I need to get as much of this back as possible...   What locations does Media Center keep stuff in?    And could I run the installer then do a  copy and paste job?

In the last few versions, your settings are included in any backup.  MC makes them and can find them if you use File/Library/Restore.
