restoring files from full Vista backup set

Before repartitioning my hard drive, I used Vista's Home Premium's
full PC backup option to save all my files to another drive. It
created a directory named after my machine, which contains a "Backup
Set (date)" directory that has a Catalogs and a Backup Files (date)
directory. The process completed just fine, so I went ahead with
repartitioning and reinstalled Vista.

Now, when I try to restore these files, Vista doesn't see them, and it
says I have no files to restore. I also tried sharing this folder so
that I could enter the path in the Network field, but that didn't work
either. I tried to manually copy the backed-up files, but it seems
that the backup application split up all files that were larger than a
certain size.

How can I restore these files? Thanks!
