| 235358 | 2004-05-09 10:40:00 | I backed up all my files and settings to another HDD in order to do a clean install of Windows XP Pro and keep all my settings. However, now that I've done that, I can't migrate the files across - the wizard tells me 'The location that you have specified does not contain stored information'. Can anyone help me out on this one? I have over 3gb worth of files that I will have lost if I can't get this to work!!! |

| 235359 | 2004-05-09 11:21:00 | Which "wizard" are you referring to? Is it only the Windows XP settings you are unable to import? Does the other hard drive not show as another partition with access to your data files? |

| 235360 | 2004-05-09 11:26:00 | The other HDD shows as a partition.. the files are in 2gb segments on there and I can't open them with any program I know. I'm referring to the WinXP Files and Settings Transfer wizard. And it's all the files and settings I can't import. | wintertide (1306) | ||
| 235361 | 2004-05-10 06:02:00 | Not sure if it makes any difference or not but do both hard drives have the same file system, eg FAT/NTFS? Found some info on the F & S Wizard here (www.windows-help.net) that may or may not have something useful to you. Another thing that might help is burning the F & S files to a CD and pointing the wizard to that. |
