    7A is a generic windows error that is "data area passed to a system call is too small".

    Can you let me know how are you restoring these files?

    Regards

    Hi Satish, I'm trying to use the back up status and configuration utility that came preinstalled on the laptop. I also tried windows NT but it didn't recognise the external hard drive.
