[QUOTE="laurahead108, post: 1122778, member: 170974"] Help! I just ran a back-up of my entire computer and seem to have transferred, rater than copied, its contents. I backed it up to an external LaCie hard drive, and -and went I went in to check on it there was an error message that wouldn't go away. Something about the "Palm Background." So I restarted the computer, and when it booted up, it was virtually empty. Almost all of my documents and applications are gone. It booted up as if I had never used it before -- I got the Start-Up Assistant. Aaah! It looks as if it has been transferred onto the external hard drive, rather than backed up to it But how do I get it re-installed? It won't just copy over. What do I do? I am totally freaking out. thank you [/QUOTE]
