After clean install of Vista, can't use Backup wizard to restore f

On Sunday March 2nd I decided to reinstall Vista Home Premium because I
couldn't get Windows Media Center to work. Afterwards, when I plugged in my
Seagate external hard drive and tried to use the backup wizard I saw this
message:

"The disk containing the backup is not accessible. Please make sure it is
turned on and connected to the computer."

I panicked at first because I thought this meant that I would not be able to
access the files on my Seagate, but I remembered that I could go the long way
by going through windows explorer and clicking on folder after folder after
folder, etc. I would rather not have to do this, especially since all I'm
looking for is just one folder! Can anyone offer any suggestions on what to
do, or will I just have to accept that I'll have to click through a thick
maze of folders to try and find what I'm looking for.
