backup recovery incomplete

Made full backup of harddisk with partitions C and D on an external disk .
Reformated disk to 1 partition C
Recovered almost everything, but some programs refuse to work. Like iTunes I
even tried to remove itunes fully and then redownloaded and installed again
but it refuses to do so and gives a program file fault.
I also somehow lost my calendar inputs. Any suggestions how to solve?

So, were any of the programs in D when you backed up?
Or, do you have programs in C which are looking for data
in D, which now isn't there?
Either of these sounds like a recipe for trouble.

Anthony, both of these are right. What I did is to combine all the
programfiles , documents and all other info that I had on both partitions to
the clean harddrive. I thought that a registry cleanup would do the rest, but
that was wishful thinking. So how do I get back to the original stuff (I
still have the full backup on the external disk!)
Thanks, appreciate any help.

As long as your backup is an exact copy of what you had previously, and you backed
up each partition separately, reformat/repartition your drive so both the c:\ and d:\
have more space than what is to be restored to them. Restore each drive separately
to their respective drive letter. What application did you use to create your
backup?

I did a new format and repartition and a full backup recovery. I got
everything back as it was.
Thanks
