Back Up Problems - Help Please

[BOAC]

Right - got it. Sorry for the 'confusion' on my part - I assumed 'system now restored' meant back to where you wanted it.

Have you been in touch with Seagate Tech Support? There is a warranty.

My La Cie USB external came with two folders on it, one for Mac and one for Windows. I was asked to install the appropriate programme. I chose not to, and used MS Backup instead. My point being that I would have expected - somewhere - a choice to be offered to you between a Mac b/up and a Windows?

I'm fascinated - is this yet another Vista compability problem?

Did you (from the Seagate site)

1. Connect your FreeAgent Desktop drive to your computer. System Tray Notifications identify the connection of the drive and the AutoPlay window opens.

4. From the next screen, click Install Software.
   Note to Windows Vista Users: A User Account Control window opens asking for your permission to continue. Click Continue.
   The InstallShield Wizard prepares the Drive Manager Setup. The Welcome window opens.

10. At this point, the Drive Manager application opens. Click on the "X" to close the program.
11. Click on the Exit button to close the installer. ??????

Is there no option in 'Drive Manager application' to restore?
