[Thinkpad] (Followup) Restoring from USB Not Working!

[Kelvin Quee]

Hi,

I'm writing this as a followup to "Windows Update *May* Break Access
Connections" (Oct 11). At that point of time, Windows Update broke all
of my network connections. I've tried everything I could. Since then,
I've been doing all my work in Linux. Whether that's a good thing or
not remains to be seen.

Today, I tried to restore the system using the famed R&R. I booted
into XP and attempted to restore from a USB HDD. Everything goes as
expected and R&R rebooted into XP.

However, that's THAT. The computer simply goes into the normal XP
startup sequence. NO RESTORATION ever took place.

Thinking that I would do better if I boot into the R&R Workspace in
the hidden partition, I did so. However, the R&R Workspace refused to
detect my USB HDD.

So, now I'm stuck. I've a working backup in my USB HDD, but none of
the R&R methods can allow me to restore.

Can anyone offer any clue?

I'm working in a multiboot environment. Will GRUB interfere even
though I've full access to both XP and the hidden partition?

What's the expected behaviour after selected a restore from USB HDD
function from Windows XP and a reboot?

I've went through Lenny's website but it does not seem to offer any
clues. Google was more helpful in the sense that many people seems to
have issues with restoring from USB.
