This maybe a silly question but I have to ask it. Do you have your CDRW and hard drive sharing the same IDE ribbon cable? If you do...don't! I think that before you do a restore, pull the CDRW and get the system up and running. Looking at my CDRW install booklet (my drive is 3 years old) it says to install software first before installing the drive. I don't have great faith in those restore options. Seems sometimes they create problems of there own if you can't stablize your system first. Good luck!
