I made a complete backup of my system which was  ultimate x86 It is
over 14 gigs in size as it had all my old xp stuff on it incl many
documents etc. The backup was confirmed as complete.
I installed ultimate 64 bit version but as drivers for my Hauppauge
card and other stuff was not readily available I decided to reinstall
the x86 version. I also tried to restore from here but no go.
From the CD i tried to restore my saved version but i received an
error saying no image found. i tried an advanced restore and located
the file that IS there and all looks fine, but it says no image found
When i try and rerstore files from the now newly installed ultimate
x86 i still get the same error message  image not found, evey
combination i try including mapping a network driv gives no image
found yet there is an image there.

the file extension of the image is a vhd file, so how can i access it!
