Vista data backup to a USB external Hard Drive

So, when you Start\Computer\your USB drive, you see no files or folders? My
backed up files & folders are in my K:\ComputerName\Backup Set date\Backup
Files date\Backup
files No.\etc. There will be a series of folders. What do you see?

I have gone about the backup in a different way. The one that failed was done
through the Lenovo ThinkVantage menu. I accessed backups a 2nd time through
Accessories/Tools/etc - ran it from there and it worked fine. I'll stick with
that way. Thanks for your help.
