    Default Vista System Restore question

    I downloaded and ran the Easy BCD Lite Recovery Essentials.

    After running the automatic repair it now reports that there is no operating system. I have run it numerous times and still get the same result. Will running the System Restore option delete all my data? I suspect a partition failure.

    Microsoft System Restore back to an earlier checkpoint does not affect user data, but if you're suspecting that you might have a seriously borked OS, which might ultimately need a factory reset, then it would be prudent to ensure the safety of all your personal data first.
