First time doing a recovery

Thread needs solution

I am using True Image 2010.
I have taken a full backup followed by 18 incremental backups of this partition on my Harddisk. Now I want to recover the HDD from the backups.
I boot up from the standalone CD - and choose RECOVERY of DISKS/PARTITIONS. Now here I am not so sure now - do I just select the latest version of the *.TLB file OR do I have to select the full backup first, then followed by incremental backup 1, 2, 3 ... until the latest version?
I just tried to recover the partition by selecting the latest version only - it recovered the data successfully - but, the system refuses to boot - tells me missing file.

TI should restore your disk to the level of the full or incremental you select. If you select the last incremental it should restore the complete backup (full plus all the incrementals). If you select the first incremental, then any backups after the first incremental will be ignored.

What file is missing?

I did clicked the last incremental. After I restored the partition (VISTA 64) - I then boot up - and the NTLDR (NT Loader) complained that the file \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE is either missing or corrupted. I confirmed the file is mssing from the restored partition.
