    I'm trying to restore my hard drive back to its old state after a Windows installation fouled up. I'm using a program called Retrospect and I have the source files on a portable USB hard drive. The source files are not in the Backup Set format (*.rbf, *.rbc), but rather they are an exact mirror of my current hard drive. Retrospect keeps asking me for these Backup Set format files but I don't have them, I have just the normal files! And I used Retrospect to create these files in the first place!

    What can I do? Are there any freeware programs that can restore a hard disk from an exact mirror, with settings, programs, files, and registry all mirrored?
