About finding the files or folders you want

6 Click Recover Files.
7 In the Recover My Files dialog box, do one of the following:
Click Original folders to have your files restored in the original folder
where they existed when they were backed up.
If you want to replace the original files, select Overwrite existing files. If
you do not select this option, a number is added to the filename, leaving
the original file untouched.
Caution: Checking Overwrite existing files replaces your original files (or
the files of the same names that are currently stored at that location) with
the files you are restoring.
Click Recovered Files folder on the desktop to have your files restored
to a new folder that is created on your Windows desktop called Recovered
Files.
Click Alternate folder and specify the path to an alternate location where
you want your files restored.

If you are prompted to replace the existing file, click Yes if you are certain
that the file that you are recovering is the file that you want.
10 Click OK.
If you are not sure which files you want to restore, you can locate, open and view
their contents using the Recovery Point Browser. From there, you can also restore
files and folders using the Recovery Point Browser.

If you cannot find the files or folders that you want to restore by browsing through
a recovery point, you can use the Norton Ghost Explore feature. This feature
assigns a drive letter to a recovery point (mounts the recovery point) as if it were
a working drive. You can then use the Windows Explorer search feature to search
for the files. You can drag and drop files to restore them.
