Can Files And Settings Transfer Wizard Collect Info From A Backup Image/Folder?

[Peter D]

Here's the problem, the HD for the old system died but a backup existed. The
new system has a copy of that extracted backup in a folder called "backup".
All the files/folders are accessible. I know that I can format a HD and put
the images/backup on that HD, and then run F&STW on it, but it's just not
practical right now.

I would like to run Files And Settings Transfer Wizard to extract the
settings/fles from that folder. Can this be done? Thanks.

If backup is really a saved folder from FTW,then yes it'll work on any system
that runs xp.You could even extract the FTW settings etc to a new user
account,
open the account,select the files,folders for it to save,save in new
folder,once
its thru,move to a cd,delete account.

No. THe backup is just a backup. It wasn't created with the F&STW. It was
created with a backup program prior to the crash.
