    Did you select to restore "from another computer" then navigate to the location/backup you wish to restore? If you reinstall youe operating system and reinstall One Care, it sees the reinstalled computer as a new computer with no files backed up.

    Yes I chose that, I even did another backup to my network and tried a restore and it worked. but still will not work with my original file.

    Perhaps it is a permissions issue. See this Microsoft Knowledge Base article on configuring permissions on a centralized backup device - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943909 If that does not resolve the issue I suggest contacting support.
