If your backup tool cannot see all the partitions, then you need another backup tool.

I did not know you could use Nero for hard drive backup and restore. Some Nero versions cannot read NTFS partitions, which could be your problem.

Personally I would recommend something like Acronis TruImage, Symantec Ghost, Macrium Reflect Free, or even CloneZilla.

it is very easy and smoth when I do backup with this. When I install os by my self, but it happan only with our supplier systems, I dont know how they install the systems. When we get pcs from them we do all the activation and end user work. Nero backup does not requier any bootable cd as other I have used. and the restoration is very fast.
