What you could do if you're not worried about getting the saves
themselves back, is to change one of the config files (sorry, can't
think of where it is off the top of my head, maybe someone else can?)
that has "Unlocked_chapters" or something to "unlock" the later chapters
for you to start from. Hope somebody can think of the config file.

cheap and fast, but it won't be good,
good and fast, but it won't be cheap,
good and cheap, but it won't be fast.
