Hey all, my computer was having a lot of problems so I decided to back up my information to my clickfree 1tb external hard drive. after that finished, i reinstalled windows vista. now, when i try to restore from my external hard drive, it says i don't have enough space to do this.. i have 400gb free and only 60gb is on the hard drive.

i tried it on my brothers laptop which has 300gb space free, and it worked fine, but not on my home PC.

any ideas? i have a recovery partition on my hard drive, maybe the stupid clickfree is trying to copy to that or something?

i can't figure this out

Welcome
Based upon your information, all we could do is guesss and here is mine. You were having problems and still are after the reinstall; sounds like potential hard drive problems. Test your drive and let us know.
