Posting in all caps makes for hard reading, is considered shouting, and may
be ignored by many

I don't know what you're talking about, I did not post in all caps. I'm
looking right at my original post right now (not the one you've quoted
in your reply) and I clearly did not post in all caps, I posted in Comic
Sans font, no caps.

Check your drivers. Did you also reinstall/update your drivers ?

Vista has never correctly recognized the Seagate drive. After the
re-install, Vista sometimes recognizes it as an USB device and it works
fine. Other times, it doesn't recognize it. Very confusing.

Hello Friends, I have the same problem. I re-installed Vista Ultimate
after it crashed and won't reboot. I got the same error message
colorstruck got, and at first I thought maybe the drivers for the WD My
Book HDD where the backups reside wasn't installed. So I went to my
computer and looked all the six HDD in the system were showing that
would mean that vista did install the Drivers. So what gives, why can't
I restore my files from the backup?
