Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

[Eric the Viking]

Hello
I have a problem with the Files and settings transfer wizard...I have used
the wizard to put all of the settings and files onto a separate drive in my
machine...then I formatted the c: and reinstalled XP...when I tried to get
the wizard to bring back all of the settings and files it (the wizard) said
that there was no information in the folder that I pointed it to even though
it contains a file called IMG00001.dat...Can anyone help me please coz it
will be a real nightmare to have to do it all manually

Thanks
Eric

1. When you have installed XP and your programs, open the
Files & Settings Transfer Wizard and select "New Computer".
2. Select "I don't need the Wizard Disk......"
3. Browse to your CD Drive and insert the CD containing the
"USMT2.UNC" file.
4. Your Files and Settings will begin installing on the new drive.

Note:

The .DAT file within the USMT2.UNC folder should be named IMG00001.DAT
There should also be a file named "status". If you have these two files within
the USMT2.UNC folder, you should only browse to the "USMT2.UNC" folder
when using the wizard.

==> Make sure your IMG00001 file is properly named: IMG00001.DAT

You need to browse to the location of the "USMT2.UNC" folder. Do not browse
to or select the IMG00001.DAT file, only the USMT2.UNC folder itself.

For example, my location is: C:\Old Computer Files\Transfers\USMT2.UNC
