System backup and restore.

Hi,
Yesterday I completed a system restore using acer eRecovery management. I did this because my computer has been freezing randomly/failing to shut down/restart/start-up properly (reaching a certain point and getting a black screen), internet explorer kept "unexpectedly" shutting down etc..etc.. the whole thing seemed to be corrupt or something. So, I decided to complete a system backup and restore.

Firslty, I backed up all my files to the ( DATA F; )hard disk on my computer and then completed the system restore using as I said, Acer eRecovery management.
The system restore worked well however, when I tried to restore the backup filed I keep getting the following error message:

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

I dont understand this because I can actually see and access all of my backup files as you can see from the screenshot below.
Can someone please help me restore my files....I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers

Hello 086bryan,

Found this on another site, it may help you with your problem.

This may happen if the backup and restore wizard does not recognize the backup file, try the below steps.
To restore a backup made on another computer
• Open Backup and Restore Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Backup and Restore Center.
• Click Advanced restore. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• Click Files from a backup made on a different computer, and then follow the steps.
