Windows Easy Transfer Recovery RDU 6/26/2007 11:37:01 AM OK, I used the WET tool to save my current settings on my laptop pre-Vista installation. I saved them on a network folder however the folder name it saved the setting under was rather strange, 'UST2MC.UNC'. It contains 2 files, 'IMG00001.DAT' & 'status'. My question is how do I now migrate or transfer these settings from the network folder to the laptop, now running under Vista?

Re: Windows Easy Transfer Recovery "Ronnie Vernon MVP" <rv[ at ]invalid.org> 6/26/2007 7:41:29 PM RDU It should be easy enough, just start the WET on the Vista laptop and go through the steps in the wizard. At some point it will ask where the files are located and you can point it to the files on the network folder. If you have any sharing problems, you can also move those files to a USB Flash Drive and access them from there. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "RDU" <RDU[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5B728614-4BDE-401F-83DC-6300841704A6[ at ]microsoft.com...

How exactly did you run Windows Easy Transfer on your XP installation? The files you mention are those created when you run the File and Settings Transfer wizard that's installed on Windows XP. The few times I've run Vista's Windows Easy Transfer tool it's created a folder named from_old_computer which contained a single file named SaveData.mig. It sounds like you ran XP's FAST wizard, not Vista's WET I'm no Vista expert, but I don't think you're going to be able to use those files with WET. You may end up having to reinstall XP on your laptop and run the FAST wizard to restore your files and settings to that installation. You could then use your Vista DVD to run Windows Easy Transfer this time. Also, I would never rely on either the FAST wizard or WET as my sole backup source. If you value your files, backup the actual files before upgrading to Vista. Good luck Nepatsfan
