System Restore - System restore failed to extract the file ...... (0x8007005) error

Hi Loucille,

One of the possible reasons why the error code 0x8007005 occurs when performing system restore is due to corrupted system files that caused software conflicts. Since you have tried several steps to resolve the issue, we recommend that you
perform a System Restore in safe mode. To boot your device in
safe mode kindly click on this link. This will start Windows in a basic state, using a limited
set of files and drivers.

Once done, we suggest that you perform a system restore after booting in safe mode. System Restore will be able to revert your PC or laptop to their previous state, which can be used to repair and recover system malfunctions or issues. Restoring won’t affect
your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Start button, and then select Control Panel.
• Search Control Panel for Recovery.
• Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
• Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.

If in case that the issue persists, we suggest that you run the System File Checker tool. This will be able
to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore it. We also suggest that you run the DISM command to repair the Windows image on your system. Follow the steps provided
on this link for the complete guide on how to use
the tool.

Please post back with the result.

 

Missing folders after system restore

If these folders contained system script files such as .bat or .vbs files then the restore process treated them as "system files". If they were not present in the selected restore point then System Restore would have deleted them. This is the way System
Restore works. You now need to do two things:

• System Restore created its own Restore Point before starting the restore process. Use
  System Restore Explorer to load this point as a VHD, then retrieve the missing files.
• Treat this event as a sharp reminder that important files must at all times be stored on two independent media. No exceptions!

 

Folder is now a file?

I appears that the check disk program found some file system errors, then converted your folder into a file. Here are a few suggestion on how to recover the folder:

• Restore it from your backup medium.
• Download & install System Restore Explorer. If you have any recent System Restore points then the tool
  lets you restore the missing folder.
• Use the hints you find on these pages:
