"restore files" can't find proper disk

-I am using Vista Home Premium 64 Sp 1 on HP s3500f.-

-I used DVD-RW to backup using Backup and Restore Center.-

-When I wanted to restore a couple of files, I could only get so far.-

-Here's what's happening...-

-1 - I used "Advanced Restore"; ... "Files from an Older Backup"-

-2 - "Show backups older than 30 days"-

-3 - I then select backup on Disk 1 from 12/12/08; Add files I want to-
-restore, in the original location - Then Start Restore-

-4 - Restore Progress halts with error box (no error code)-
-"The disk in the drive is not the requested disk.-
-"Please insert the disk with the following label ... Disk 5"-

-Disk 1 is where I found the files and from whence I listed them to-
-restore. Substituting Disk 5 gives the same message.-

-I am sure it is something dumb I am doing, but I am stumped.-

Try the same procedure but this time put the last disk in the series in the
drive first. I'm not saying that this will work but it is worth a try.

I used to backup using a tape drive and when restoring files, the tape would
go to the end of the tape, gather some information and then rewind to the
point in the tape where the information was to be found.

Good Luck.

Thanks, I have tried starting with each of the 5 disks and get the sam
message
I appreciate your thought
One would think someone at MS Redmond who wrote the program would kno
how it work

Well, they probably do know... but the odds of them reading this is quite
slim.
