The index file is not available in the chest. As I said originally, the HD was filled before all of the files were written.
I have spent the past 12 hours restoring each individual file to the correct location. I started with 1727 files in the chest. I have restored about 900 files. This includes all (or most) of the Windows ME files. There are about 400 files that it says it cannot find, so they cannot be restored. GREAT!
Now, I have gotten Windows ME to run from the original drive. I try to run avast! in the hope that it will be able to restore the balance of the file. BUT when I run the program it tells me:
avast Warning
avast! detected unauthorized modifications of this file.
(C:\PROGRAM FILES\AVAST4\ASHAVAST.EXE)
Continuing can be dangerous. Run anyway?
[ Yes ] [ No ]
I have no choice, so I click YES... now it tells me:
avst!: License key is not entered. [ OK ]
Of course I do not have a license key entered, I just loaded the trial version yesterday!
I click [ OK ] and it brings up the splash screen and the registration box.
Registration [ X ]
Enter your license key:
______________ - _______
[ OK ] [ Cancel ]
I do not have a license, remember, I just installed the trial version yesterday... so I click [ ok ]
clicking on [ OK ] brings a box telling me invalid license number!
Clicking on [ Cancel ] brings a box asking me if I have a valid code, if I click yes, it brings me back to the registration box... if I click no, it terminates the program.
Why can't I run the program under the demo version, after all, I still should have 59 days of trial left. Right?
What can I do to get this program running so that I can try to restore the balance of my program files?
