I reformated my main hard drive last week but before I did complete PC backup of Vista with the Back up Status and Configuration tool. Now I have this 60GB backup on my secondary drive, but when I run the Backup Status and Configuration app to restore the files it says that no files have been found even when I tell it to look in the drive. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Well now what version of Vista do you have? Only Ultimate and Business versions have full backup image files, Home versions have only file and data backup. To use the Nt backup In Ultimate, you have to install Windows before restoring files and programs.

Yes it is ultimate thus full backup, and I have re installed ultimate and for some reason it won't let me restore from the image file. It keeps telling me that windows can not find the image file.
