Backup/Restore Dell Optiplex 390

I created a backup of my Dell Optiplex 390 and there are 3 total files. A Dell File, A Recovery File, and the C Drive. When I boot into the SSR 2011 I am clicking Backup Recovery then clicking next and I am loading the files in this order.

(I am deleting the c drive partition before laying down the images)

1.Dell File

2.C Drive

3.System Recovery (making it bootable option checked)

Am I doing this wrong? Does anyone know the correct order to lay down the images, and what options I need to have checked when doing a recovery on this machine?

 

So far I have gotten a missing boot file error then telling me to ctrl+alt+delete+, The error I have gotten the most is a black screen with a blinking cursor......

I am stumped on what options may need to be checked within the 3 different files and which order to lay them down.

Any and all support is much appreciated, if you need more details please let me know what you need.

Thanks,

Joshua
