Using Windows Complete PC Back and Restore

On my Thinkpad laptop I created a backup using the Windows Complete PC Backup
option on Vista Business. Now I want to restore this backup on my laptop.
When I boot to Advanced Boot Options or use the Vista DVD and click on
Windows Complete PC Restore it says it cannot find my backup. My backup is on
a Seagate External Drive.
What can I do so that I can restore my laptop with the information on the
USB 2.0 external hard drive?

Re: Using Windows Complete PC Back and Restore

Cannot specifically address your problem - have no problemwith an external
drive here - have you verified that "WindowImageBackup" is on the external
drive?
