Restoration total external backup on Vista

[Florian]

I have my laptop Acer Aspire 7720-6155
I want back my software and files on a compaq 6820, from a backup external disk portable USB iomega

when I run computer repair / restoration of the Windows
I have the message
Valid backup location introuvable
windows could not find a backup disk or DVD drive on this computer
connecting the appropriate disk drive or insert the DVD of the last backup and repeat the process of restoration

How can I get out of this situation?

How have you backed up your data on your external hard drive? What software?

[Florian]

I have made the backup with the backup tool for Vista taking the option of complete backup system to restore full

vista tool works only for his own restaurant on the same hardware.
If you wish to transfer your files to another PC, it's Mimine and one by one

thank you for the info that is what I feared
you think that if I hand over a new hard disk on the PC instead of the HS will accept the restoration of the whole?
