My Timemachine Backups don't work even after they say I restored successfully.

[iruleyou1]

I have a pentium D 3.4 with nforce 4 chipset w/iATKOS 1.0 r3 patched with Kalyway 10.5.2 combo. I can successfully create timemachine backups so I don't think my question is the same as the sticky. The problem I am having is after I break my OSX install after say trying updates I can't seem to get my backups working. I boot with the iATKOS dvd select restore backup. Choose the time I want to restore from when I am sure I have had a successful reboot after the backup was created and then install it to the destination which is my OSX primary partition. After it says restore completed successfully and then it restarts. Upon restarting I have the same problem I originally had which is hanging with no bootloarder screen. Its like my restore does the same thing. I should create a backup and restore when my computer doesn't have any issues to verify 100% but hey I personally don't want to try and break my install . I would love to get this working becuase I want to try some stuff out. I have tried this more then once. I can successfully reinstall from scratch though so my hard drive and mobo aren't broken. The timemachine backups are being stored on a second partition. I am storing stuff I don't want to lose in the root of that drive such as programs to install. Can that be the problem if I created a folder called backup. I am not placing anything in the actual backup folders. The thing I am testing that is breaking my install in the first place are the graphics update in 10.5.2.

Try changing the name of the partition you use to backup, that works for me.

When I set up time machine automatically changed the name of the backup partition and formated it. The name of the partition has time machine in the name. Then it started creating backups every hour. Now these are the backups that aren't restoring for me. When i restore them it says its successfull but I still have a machine that doesn't boot. When you are saying change the name of the backup partition do you mean rename it from what TimeMachine called it and make my own name up?

As for me, solution was a bit longer, but succsessfull:

Reinstall Os X and on greeting message choose: Transfer from Time Machine Backup or somthing like that. You'll have all the progs and documents, but you might need to re-apply your titan/natit/or-whatever-you-use third party driver.
