I recently had some trouble with a workstation at my office, and had to send
the machine in for repairs at the manufacturer. Before I sent the machine in
I did a transfer of the files and settings, including the contents of the
hard drive. I consequently stored the 19 GIG USMT2 Folder on a removable hard
drive.

I recieved the computer, repaired and the hard drive replaced, as the
previous one was faulty.When I wanted to restore the USMT files form the
external hard drive, nothing wanted to happen. I then copied the USMT folder
to the physical hard drive and still nothing happens. I get a message saying
that there are no files in the folder. I confirmed that they are there and
their sizes are also confirmed. This is the only backup I have of this user's
work and I will need to restore it very soon.

Any advice will be appreciated.
 
If youre running the FTW from tools,try running from the xp cd.Actually you
should always run it from the xp cd...
