I backed my drive up to a large external drive prior to doing a (second) clean install. I changed the name of my system when I performed the clean install (no I do not know why I did this) and now although I can see all of the backed up zipped folders on the external drive, Vista Restore (either option) tells me that it can not see the media (or something like that). Does anyone have any idea on which file the drive and computer and user names are stored so that I can manually change them?
