Lost data????

[Guest]

I had a problem with my hard drive so ran the XP files and setting wizard to
transfer everything off the drive to an external drive.
I now have 12 DAT folders each around 2Gb in size which I am assuming
contain all my data....
How do I recover/restore this data/programs from these folders?

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi,

After reinstalling a clean system, you run the FAST wizard and import the
data. More information:

Lost data can be restored using Active@ undelete data recovery tool.
It works really great and it's algorithm is mighty indeed.

Except that it costs $$$, and there are many freeware ones that will do it
without charging. Besides, this isn't deleted data, it's data in a FAST
backup that is clearly visible. You read the entire post before pushing your
product as the answer.
