Laptop - Recovery

I have used Altiris Recovery Agent to backup my laptop to an external hard drive.  Recently my laptop was stolen.  I have a replacement laptop and have reinstalled the Altiris Recovery Agent software (6.2).  How can I view the image on the hard drive and recover some files?  I am not interested in rolling back the entire image just retrieving some specific files.  I have connected the harddrive to other PCs and it will not recognize my old partition.  Starting up the software wants to create a new partition.

Thanks for any help. - Bob

Dave,

I have yet to find a solution to my problem.  Nothing seems to provide the option to recover.  My new laptop wants to start from scratch and begin with a new patition on the backup drive.  I am still trying to find a solution.

Support

Hi guys,
I don't use the RS Local recovery pro (only the server-based version) so not sure how to accomplish this.  I have flagged this thread for "Escalate to Support" so hopefully someone in RS support can take a look and provide some guidance (several months later).

Thanks,
