Hello,
I did a factory reset and backed up files using a flash drive. It compressed the files so now I cant see them. How do I get them restored into the system?? I have windows 7

What brand is the computer? Factory restore procedures are a manufacturers installed option and vary widely.

I found the following set of instructions:

open the drive (in my case d) where the DVD is

double click to look at the file names

double click on a file called Recovery Manger (application)

this starts the wizard to restore files to the C drive

I hope this helps --- Good Luck
