re: Lightning damage to computer - how screwed am I?

Bump for another problem...
Turns out the motherboard was fried (suspect network connection to UVerse router was the path), so I bought a new MB, CPU and memory. All peripherals still worked. Reinstalled Windows 7 (64 bit) since I'd already paid for it, everything is back to the way it was.
Now, when I try and perform a backup (using Windows backup program) I get an error that the hard drive I'm backing up to isn't formatted NTFS, even after a complete reformatting. Drive was/is good, and I could open all the files on it before the formatting.
Any ideas? I've heard Windows backup sucks but this is the first problem I've had with it.
