Re-installing My Book Elite on a new computer

My PC running Windows XP crashed. I had backed it up on my WD My Book.
I replaced my old computer with a PC running Windows 7.
How can I retreive my back up and transfer the files to my new PC?

If you backed upWith Smartware you may need to do a backup on the new PC first.Check this post http://community.wdc.com/t5/My-Book-for-PC/data-restore/m-p/161586/highlight/true#M5703
