Unable to use previoius back up

I recently purchased a new PC (Gateway w/Phenom Quad Core Processor). I am
having some issues with software and network, so at Gateway's recommendation,
I had to reinstall the system from factory recovery. Before I did the
reinstall, I backed up my music, documents, photos, etc.

After the reinstall, it will not locate the back up files, even when I
direct it to the drive on which they are located (a WD 80GB USB external
drive). I even tried to "trick" Vista by having it back up the new install,
but that didn't help either.

Any ideas? Do you know what I can do to get these files back? Please help!
Thanks.
