I wiped my hard drive (long story) before backing up my data. I used a
recovery cd that recovered thousands of .cab files totalling 80 gig. When I
open the cab files (each has 10.7meg) I can't see any info at all. It's as
if there is nothing in them. How can I see the data? I'm looking for my IE8
favorites and "my documents". Can anyone help me??????

If exact, this was the wrong order. Most of us back up data before
wiping a hard drive, not afterwards.

What software did you use to read these particular *.CAB files?
WinXP can read the contents of Windows CAB files, but some
other file formats write as CAB filetype although non-Windows.
