The restore option completed and I have what appears to be a full copy of my C:\ on the boot partition of my external HDD. I restart and go into bios and set first boot device as USB-HDD and save settings.
Upon rebooting it syas "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter".
Did I miss a step? Why can't I boot off my USB HDD?

Have you changed the boot priority in your BIOS? You need to set the USB device to the highest and then it should work.
