Can I please make a small suggestion for next time you post.
I don't mean this as a criticism, but this thread is 3 times as long as it should be because of your triple posting.
If you have something else to add, please use the Edit button on your posts.

If I am reading the screenshot of your External HD correctly, I believe you have a subfolder of the WindowsImageBackup file there which will not be autodetected by the booted Win7 Image Restore utility.
In my experience, the folder must be in the root of the External and can only be named WindowsImageBackup and nothing else.
It looks like you have the next sub-folder Cheryl-PC instead. You can create a New folder named WindowsImageBackup and place Cheryl-PC inside and the imaging utillity should autodetect it if it's not corrupted.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

Omg! That was it!! It found my external hard drive image and now preparing to restore. Oh crap just recieced error message. "The system image restore failed" error details: the volume I'd could not be found. (0x80070495). What's that?

a quick google suggests that it is either a corrupt boot sector on the Image, or a problem with RAID. As you don't have a RAID array, I think we can eliminate that one.
I'm thinking Clean Install again, but wait and see what Greg thinks, he is more experienced in these things than I am.

If you want to try a version of Acronis for use on a Seagate HDD (internal or external) check this free version from Seagate.
You must have a Seagate HDD in your system for this to work.
I have used it many times for backups and restoring, cloning new HDDs, it works very well.
Seagate DiscWizard, a version of Acronis

Glad it worked.
I found this out trying to juggle multiple backup image files for all 7 of our computers here on one external. You can change the name of the file, stick it in a folder, etc. But it has to be renamed exactly WindowsImageBackup and placed in the root like cheese on a mousetrap.
Many users don't like Windows Backup imaging because of this.
Just post any other issues you have in General or the specific forum if it's obvious.
