Using XP's File and Settings Transfer (FST) wizard I created a file called USMT2.UNC on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer the files and settings into Vista but Vista's Easy Transfer won't recognize it.
Unfortunately I cannot use Vista's Easy Transfer on the original computer because the original computer's hard drive failed.
So all I have is this 6 month-old XP FAST file and I want to recover the files and settings from it onto a new Vista laptop. But when I run the Vista Easy Tranfer Wizard it won't recognize the USMT2.UNC file from the external hard drive as a source for transfering the files and settings. The USMT2.UNC file seems fine (not corrupted) and has a dozen or so .DAT files in is and a status file.
How do I get my old files and settings from this file into Vista?
Thanks in advance.
