so have you been making your backups to your external hard drive? just wanna make sure i get your story straight. and when you try to run the recovery its not finding the backups you made?

try running the restore through safe mode and do tell wat happens. if you have any errors still, you can run a system repair from the windows dvd if you still have it.

hope some of that helps
