HELP! Can't recover! TI Home 2010

Thread needs solution

Here is my situation;
I'm running True Image Home 2010 and did make a Bootable Rescue Media.
I have a 80GB master, a 250GB slave, and a 1TB external storage.
Running WinXP Pro. SP3.

I recently got a bad virus, trojan I think! I still haven't nailed down the source.
So after a hasty shut down I could not boot to Windows.
Just 'Error file not found' (flashing, but unusable, prompt)

My first course of action was to use the Bootable Rescue Media.
That failed!
The screen did come up but my options were to recover or clone the WHOLE 1TB drive!

So plan 2 was to dump the 80GB master, reload WinXP, then transfer files and folders from the partitioned ext. storage to the main hard drives were needed. My last Backup was on 11/30/2011.
I thought this would be a safe bet. I was wrong again.

After reloading T.I.H. I tried to access the ext. storage.
I now get the message "A.T.I.H. backup archive file is corrupted........try mounting"
That doesn't work either. I tried every backup I have with the same results.

Also, on a side note, all disk and their partitions appear in 'My Computer' But all 'appear' empty when clicked on except for the main C: drive which has one folder "Windows"
They All also show a usage when hovered over and in properties. Which one would think then that there IS data stored on them. Correct?

Please let me know what you think!
and What my next course of action should be!

Thank You!

Recoveries are best made from the recovery CD. Make sure you have the latest build of your recovery CD. Maybe your images were produced by a build not supported by your recovery CD...
For this, go to your Acronis account, and download the bootable ISO. Burn that ISO as an ISO, not a regular file burn. Try to access your backups with that recovery CD.
