X60 Rescue & Restore Urgent HELP required !!!

[tcullen]

Hi

My first post...

I have had a bit of a nightmare with my X60. To summerise.

Windows startup became corrupt.
None of the recovery options would work.
So i used ( Rescue files ) in the ThinkVantage Recovery Centre at start up to back up all my files to an external hard drive.

Re-installed the OS with the ThinkVantage at start up. Then when I try and Restore the files i backed up it doesn't pick up the external HDD.

I have checked the files are still there which they are. Can anyone confirm that they can be restored ?? or that they are defo safe at least ?

Many thanks
