Can't See Backup Sets on Internal Backup Drive

When I got my PC with Vista, I installed my old hard drive as F and made it
also my backup drive. It seemed as if I'd be unlikely to run out of space
anytime soon. But my automatic backup Sunday failed for lack of space on the
F drive. It's 120 gig, with 288meg free. My problem is, when I explore the
drive, I don't see the backups on the disk. Even when I do a search
including hidden files I can't identify them.

So, when you Start\Computer\F drive, you see no files or folders? The
backed up files & folders
should be in F:\ComputerName\Backup Set date\Backup Files date\Backup
files No.\etc. There will be a series of these folders. What do you see?
