Restore from external hard drive
I recently moved from XP to Windows 7 Pro. Before I did this I backed up a good deal of my C: drive using the XP backup/restore feature. The resulting backup file was copied to an external hard drive. Now that I'm on 7 I would like to restore some of these old files. However, when I go to the backup/restore app on Windows 7 the only option I have is to select the backup file from a network location. But it's not on the network, it's on an external hard drive that I plugged in. How can I just tell it to look for the file on the external drive?
