I used the file and Settings Transfer Wizard...

.. before reinstalling the OS to the factory settings on my Dell XPS 420.

When I tried to reinstall parameters, etc., everything was recovered, but my Outlook *.pst and so all my emails, settings account and contacts.

I tried to re - import this data, but it is still missing.  Curiously, it is the case with other accounts for *.pst files, too.

I was under the impression of the data should be relocated by default, if someone could tell me where these data could be and if I can recover from in the backup file?

Thank you very much

Pete

  • Big problem with the files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

    Basically, what has happened here, it is that I did a backup of the files on the computer of a friend with the wizard to transfer to an external hard drive, but I started on the old computer and for one reason or another never get the CD Wizard so I thought that I was OK.  Don't think.  The idea was to have the backup files in case I needed to reformat the drive hard, I ended up reformatting the drive and when I finally got the installation more done with trying to run the file and Settings Wizard and when I chose the external drive that files were on and then subsequently the folder and it said that it did not contain information.  So basically I'm stuck with a complete record of .dat files, and the wizard will not let me extract the files off the drive.  Is there anyway that I can return information about the files, or I'm totally finished.

    Everything worked ok that it proved just that he did not want to me to choose the actual file as a path, but the hard drive.  It was just something simple that I pop up.  Thanks for the help but I don't know that it would have been the next problem if I didn't had not updated the operating system first.

  • Files and Settings Transfer Wizard-problem

    I recently had to format my hard drive and start over. I used the "files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to collect, compress and save all my pictures, etc... She is transferred to 11.1 GB and ended successfully. But now that I formatted I can't transfer files to the newly formatted hard drive. I direct the wizard to the folder I saved them and I get the message:"the location you specified does not have information stored. Please enter a valid folder path into the edit box

    If you have entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive. »

    At the same time I see 7 files in the folder.

    They are IMG00001 by IMG00006 andstatus

    IMG00001-IMG00006are all the DAT files.

    The two operating systems is Windows XP Professional.

    I am confused, maybe I need some sort of program that can read and decompress these important images. Please help me.

    Choose the folder above the folder you chose when you got the error message. Let me know what happens.

  • Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

    Move to a new computer. How do I use the files and Settings Transfer Wizard when a drive D:\, where most of the records, should be moved from the old computer? Would it not be better to move the drive before or after using the wizard?

    Old computer: WXP Pro SP3

    New computer: W7 Pro

    Also, the Office 2003 pro is compatible with W7Pro?

    Thanks Steve responding. Yes, I was looking to move the disk to the new machine, but this effort is now moot. It turns out that the car was not compatible with the environment of W7. Had to reinstall everything manually. Bought a new external 3 to Seagate protable drive and moved everything to him. Great work and no more worries about space.

    Also upgraded to Office 2010 to avoid more problems with this. Just having problems learning curve that I can rely.

    Thanks again.

    Breath my old XP and put in place a new W7 Pro 64 b. stupid did me not carefully the manual before I went away to transfer all files and settings XP, the wizard files and Settings Transfer (FAST) "old."

  • Files and settings are not transferred when I use the files and the Settings Transfer Wizard

    Two XP computers are same all critical Service Pack 3 with the update.  Same version of FAST.

    Running FAST on the old computer (files and settings) creates the USMT2. The UNC file.

    Run FAST on the NEW computer concludes the USMT2. UNC file and works through its steps.

    Both measures take about two hours to complete.

    When FASTING is complete on the new computer he wants to disconnect the user.  At this point, it seems that it worked without errors.  (no error messages at all)

    After the Cup then turn it back, it's as FAST does not work.

    FASTWiz.log is 175KO on OLD PC and 72KO on NEW

    Don't know what to look for or what could be the problem.

    Both computers have MigWiz.exe version 5.1.2600.5512

    I'm glad you worked on it.  Thanks for letting me know.

  • Files and settings transfer from XP to Windows 7

    I backed up my XP pc files by using the USMT.  I just installed windows 7 pro on that same pc and I do not see an available USMT to restore the settings.  I did not use the transfer function.  Is it possible to restore my files and settings that are from my XP pc currently stored on an external drive to my Windows 7 environment?  the function of easy transfer on Windows 7 does not recognize the file created by the USMT.

    See the following topics:

    User State Migration Tool 4.0 user's Guide

    USMT is really intended for migration from the company. For stand-alone users, you must use Windows Easy Transfer during the migration to Windows XP:

  • Files and settings transfer

    I have the C: drive of my old PC which is now the D: drive in my new PC.  The old drive (now D :) is readable but not bootable.

    Both drives have Vista.

    I want to transfer my files and settings from the D: drive to my new drive C: while all applications, drivers, settings, etc. from the old pc is put at my disposal on the new pc.

    How to achieve this?  WET only seems to work if the two discs are in separate computers; It is not possible.

    Hello

    You say that the former slave drive is readable.

    Copy the files on the master hard drive.

    And you can't transfer programs; they must be reinstalled.

    See you soon.

  • using the '+' I'm unable to open additional tabs. If I use the file and click New tab it will open. I don't have the Ask toolbar. How can this be corrected?

    Before today, when I clicked on the '+' opens a new tab. She is no longer doing this. However, when I open the file and click on 'New tab' it opens fine. I don't have the "Ask Toolbar" as far as I know (this has been mentioned as a problem before). What can be done to fix this? Thank you.

    Can't really tell if it was useful or not. Before I had the answer, I rebooted and the problem disappeared. I appreciate the quick response and it will keep on file for future reference if the problem happens again.

  • Files and Settings Transfer duplicate directories/folders

    After upgrading to a hard drive more, tried to install XP from old hd install disc; used easy transfer and also some other recov ery program and ended up with duplicate files and directories source of confusion.  for example several folders My Documents; the old HD and newly created the new hd.  How can I fix the problems?  I have several duplicate files, it's a mess.  Thank you, pdoyle1.

    Hi pdoyle1,

    1. you can try to use disk cleanup and verify the results. Link: Description of the tool in Windows XP Disk Cleanup:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310312

    2. If you have the original data recorded (old hard drive), then I suggest you to format the new hard drive and copy the original to new hard drive data.

    You can also use some third party software that are available to remove duplicate files. You can use your favorite search engine to find the software to delete duplicate files.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • can I recover the files and settings after you have reinstalled windows vista

    Hello, I just reinstalled vista on computer laptop lm to correct some problems there at - it a way to recover my files from my old windows vista formatting hope that makes sence lol thanks of ;)

    You can retrieve your personal files, but not the settings, even if you could look under AppData in the Windows.old and copy them to their respective directory in the installation of Windows Vista work.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
