Having Trouble Restoring Image

[leachim]

I have a system image on a usb drive

 

I need to use this to overwrite a vista install that won't work.

 

Using the recovery environment, and choosing complete PC restore - it doesn't give me the option to navigate to the usb drive and choose the image

 

Using command prompt, I can navigate to the usb drive and list the contents

 

Any ideas ?

I think correct me if Im wrong but doesn't that work on System Restore Points rather than images ?

My mistake

 

It is not an image, it is a normal file backup folder that I am seeing on the usb drive - of course, vista doesn't do images of the whole hard drive...

 

Duh?

Have you tried using the VISTA DVD?
