Trying to refresh my PC. I did a (FAST) transfer to an external drive and
after reformatting and reinstalling the OS on my Primary drive, I cannot
retrieve backed-up data successfully.
The File & Settings Transfer runs for 5 minutes (so ‘I believe’ I have
compatible versions) and ends with following error messages:
“cannot complete the transfer”
“An error occurred while the wizard was loading your data.
“The wizard cannot create the data needed to save your settings. Make sure
you
have enough disk space available”.
Drive with data (IMG Files) has 50 GB free (plus 20GB+\- in img files)
Destination drive (Primary) has 60 GB free
USMT2 Folder has the following:
1 Img A file *.dat
9 img(1-9) files *.dat
1 Status file no extension.
Any thoughts on what is causing FAST to fail?
Thanks
Is the newly formatted machine running WinXP, WinXP SP1, WinXP SP2, or WinXP
SP3?
Before the format & reinstall, were you running WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3?
Could you have transferred more than 63,000 files to the external drive?
Is the external drive formatted FAT32 or NTSF? Is the target machine
formatted FAT32 or NTSF?

Newly formatted: WinXP SP2
Before reformat: Not sure (daughter's PC, never looked. just went to work)
63K Files: Not certain. Possibly
Both drives: NTSF

Ideally, you'd have backed-up the data before using FAST, just in case
something like this happened.

As I think about it, it had to have been SP2, since that's what's loaded now
and I'm using original installation disks.
Thoughts?
Thanks-
