Sometimes when restoring a backup using image based backup software you may not be able to 'see' the internal hard drive because it been setup by the manufacturer in a special mode (convenient for them but not so much for you).
If you need to restore a backup form another PC you may need to change the disk mode
Changing the disk mode from RAID to 'standard':
- Startup the PC and immediately start pressing the BIOS access button, this may be F2, DEL, F10, or F12 depending on the PC
- Once you are in the BIOS locate the storage settings
- Change the disk mode (as per the image below, change from [1] - RAID to [2] - AHCI)
- Restart the PC and try the restore process again
