    Restoring backed-up files


    While using Vista I backed up my HD using Windows Backup to a 250GB Seagate FreeAgent Go USB drive.

    I then installed Windows 7 Professional using a clean install.

    The backup files on the Seagate can be viewed as the F drive. However, when I use Windows Restore function no backup files are listed.

    Any suggestions on how I get my files back?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Still can't get restore to see files.

    The attached docs are screenshots of what I'm seeing:
    • #1 the backup files on the Seagate HD
    • #2 My Backup/Restore options from which I select "Select another backup to restore files from"
    • #3 The Select backup file window: Refresh does nothing, "Browse network" takes me to #4
    • #4 Selection options don't allow me to view the F: drive connected to my laptop
