Looks like you are using two different programs here. You made a backup
using Complete PC Backup, but you were trying to restore using the File
Backup tool. Complete PC Backup does not include support for restoring
individual files, although from your other post you did find a workaround to
this.

On Windows Vista Ultimate I made a complete backup using the Backup and
Restore Center ("Back up computer") to a USB 100Gb portable drive. It went
fine, and the drive shows a WindowsImageBackup folder on its root. It
totals about 65Gb. 2 days later that laptop crashed and I got another
laptop with the same Windows Vista Ultimate. I want to restore some
selected files (client work, not system or application) to the new laptop.

When I choose Advanced Restore - Advanced Restore - Files from a backup
made on a different computer - Hard disk, CD, or DVD - PHOTON F: (the
name of the USB 100Gb drive with the backup), it says:
Windows was not able to find any backup sets on F:\.
Please select a different location.

I searched for other posts, but didn't find one dealing with a selective
restore.

The drive and its subfolders are all visible with Explorer, so it's
definately there. What can I do to make it recognize it? I need those
files!!!
