recover files from USM2T. UNC (old XP files and settings transfer tool) folder in windows 7

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."

Now I'm stuck which dominates the stream _ with my nice, clean, but oh so empty, installation of Windows 7 Prof 64 b.

Problem is that the wizard of Windows Easy Transfer (WET) native in W7, it will come out looking for a *.mig file - and guess what! There is no file in the USM2T source folder. UNC. Just a bunch of GOOD *. DAT files.

Can someone give me a name on a good therapist or better yet, to guide me?

Whatelse... ?  I found a GUI which is a wrapper for the MS-DOS command "fastconv" - but it's a bit unstable and it takes time awful lotta.

Thanks in advance,

Wolfbeach

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Restore files and settings from my old Windows XP system to the newly installed Windows XP SP2.

    My old Windows XP no longer works correctly - it would start to Windows, but that restart. Otherwise, all data and system files on the hard disk are completely legible [no error reported by various scans].

    I made a copy of that old hard drive [with the problematic Windows XP] on a partition of my drive hard [second] another [using EASEUS Partition Master to copy the whole thing - it created an image of all the old hard disk on a special partition of the second hard disk].

    That I took a third hard drive and installed a new Windows XP [SP2] on it. How can I transfer my files and settings from this partition of the second hard disk [which is the image of the original hard drive] third hard disk [which I now use as the bootable hard disk instead of the original one]?

    Can I use "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" for whom? If so, how?

    AVI,
    I think it's a little late for the transfer Assistant.  You should use it while the other drive has been started.  But you can try the wizard.
    Run it and tell him that you are on the new PC.
    So say no to create a wizard disk.
    Then on the location of the files screen, select other and see if it will let you access the info on your another drive.
    In my view, it will look for the file in the wizard, but it is worth it.

    If this does not work then you need to just reinstall your programs and manually copy the data to your new drive. Typing of my new Windows 7 64 bit and love it! Soli Deo Gloria!
